Owing to a strike by Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) contractual sanitation staff at Jinnah International Airport Karachi, dustbins were overflowing and a foul odour issued from the airport’s grounds.
CAA’s contract employees are protesting for the regularisation of their services. Due to the strike of the sanitation workers, garbage is being witnessed at the premises of the Karachi airport, which is causing problems for passengers.
It may be noted that the CAA contractual staff is also on strike at the Islamabad International Airport.
On the other hand, a spokesman for the CAA said in a statement that some “mischievous elements were trying to create misunderstanding through misrepresentation.”
He said that some of the morning shift employees expressed their concerns but most of the staff were performing their duties.
As a result of the protest, there were some temporary sanitation problems, but these were soon overcome, he added.
