Lahore, August 21, 2023 (PPI-OT): In compliance with the orders of Ombudsman Punjab Maj (r) Azam Suleman Khan, the Parks and Horticulture Authority Gujranwala has disbursed outstanding dues of Rs.24,01,974 to the widow of a deceased employee who passed away during service.
The widow had lodged a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman Punjab for the provision of outstanding dues of her late husband who died in 2020 while doing a job as a spray man with the PHA Gujranwala. Despite her appeals, the PHA Gujranwala had not taken action to address the financial obligations owed to her following her husband’s death. The applicant also added that she and all other heirs are unemployed. Seeking equitable resolution, she turned to the ombudsman’s office, seeking redressal for the outstanding dues that belonged to her late spouse.
In response to this situation, Ombudsman Punjab Azam Suleman Khan instructed the DG PHA Gujranwala to fulfil the obligation of paying the remaining dues to the applicant. In adherence to this directive, the authority promptly disbursed the outstanding sum of Rs. 24,01,974 to the widow.
