KARACHI (Dunya News) – Government seems to have turned deaf ears to Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) employees’ necessities as the matter of three-month pending salaries was not raised in Economic Coordination Committee’s (ECC) meeting.

Sources said that in ECC’s meeting held yesterday, the matter was supposed to be discussed however, the members did not bother to rectify the situation.
