These employees working under this package have long demanded regularization as their salaries are not paid on time due to lack of funds. Last year, the government even considered laying them off due to the financial constraints of the department.
Once regularized, they will also be entitled to all facilities and perks that are available to permanent employees of Pakistan Railways.
