6, 2025):<\/strong><br data-start=\"361\" data-end=\"364\" \/>In Kahuta, major business owners and shopkeepers have openly defied the government&#8217;s orders regarding the minimum wage, paying labourers as little as Rs. 400 to Rs. 600 per day. This is a blatant violation of the Labor Act, as the Punjab government recently set the minimum monthly wage at Rs. 40,000 in its 2025\u201326 budget, up from Rs. 37,000 last year.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"968\">Despite this legal directive, enforcement remains nonexistent across the province. Labourers working in shops report that their wages are far below the mandated minimum. One worker stated, \u201cWe are so poor that affording two meals a day is a struggle.\u201d<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"1398\">The situation is worsened by the ongoing inflation crisis in Pakistan. Citizens are facing acute shortages and skyrocketing prices of essential items such as flour, wheat, sugar, vegetables, cooking oil, milk, and medicines \u2014 placing them out of reach for the average household. Government officers, meanwhile, are accused of ignoring the issue and simply drawing their own salaries without ensuring the implementation of wage laws.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0645\u0679\u0648\u0631 (\u0646\u0645\u0627\u0626\u0646\u062f\u06c1 \u067e\u0648\u0679\u06be\u0648\u0627\u0631 \u0688\u0627\u0679 \u06a9\u0648\u0645 \u06a9\u0628\u06cc\u0631 \u0627\u062d\u0645\u062f \u062c\u0646\u062c\u0648\u0639\u06c1\u060c6\u0627\u06af\u0633\u062a2025) \u064d \u06a9\u06c1\u0648\u0679\u06c1 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0628\u0691\u06d2 \u0628\u0691\u06d2 \u06a9\u0627\u0631\u0648\u0628\u0627\u0631\u06cc \u0645\u0631\u0627\u06a9\u0632 \u06a9\u06d2 \u0645\u0627\u0644\u06a9\u0627\u0646 \u0627\u0648\u0631\u062f\u0648\u06a9\u0627\u0646\u062f\u0631\u0627\u0648\u06ba \u0646\u06d2 \u062d\u06a9\u0648\u0645\u062a\u06cc \u0627\u062d\u06a9\u0627\u0645\u0627\u062a \u06a9\u06cc \u062f\u06be\u062c\u06cc\u0627\u06ba \u0628\u06a9\u06be\u06cc\u0631 \u062f\u06cc\u06ba \u0645\u0632\u062f\u0648\u0631 \u06a9\u06cc \u06a9\u0645 \u0627\u0632 \u06a9\u0645 \u0627\u062c\u0631\u062a40 \u06c1\u0632\u0627\u0631 \u06a9\u0627 \u0627\u062d\u06a9\u0627\u0645\u0627\u062a \u06c1\u0648\u0627 \u0645\u06cc\u06ba \u0627\u0691\u0627 \u062f\u06cc\u06d2\u060c\u0644\u06cc\u0628\u0631 \u0627\u06cc\u06a9\u0679 \u06a9\u06cc \u0633\u0631 \u0639\u0627\u0645 \u062e\u0644\u0627\u0641 \u0648\u0631\u0632\u06cc\u060c\u06a9\u0627\u0645 \u06a9\u0631\u0646\u06d2 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u06d2 \u0645\u0644\u0627\u0632\u0645\u06cc\u0646 \u06a9\u0648 4 \u0633\u06d2 6 \u0633\u0648\u0631\u0648\u067e\u06d2 \u062f\u06cc\u06c1\u0627\u0691 \u062f\u06cc \u062c\u0627\u0646\u06d2 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":55699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,47,124,933],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dailynews","category-headline","category-kahuta","category-pothwarallnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58524"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58525,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58524\/revisions\/58525"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
