Punjab Paramedical Alliance (PPA) on Thursday demanded that the finance department staff should be suspended because of the delay in the inclusion of paramedics in the Health professional Allowance. PPA Chairman Malik Munir Ahmed said that other provinces had implemented the service structure for paramedics but Punjab was still delaying the matter. Federal government had announced a special package for doctors and paramedical staff, he added. PPA alleged the finance department bureaucrats for hording the 37 million which the chief minister had allocated for their service structure on May 12, 2011. Protesters threatened to burn themselves in front
of the chief minister’s house
if their demands were not
met.
