Govt vows to meet workers' demands, says Brigadier General Sakhawat at rally

He emphasized that laborers serve as the primary catalyst for national economic progress. The government plans to address all legitimate worker concerns through existing legislation. Officials collaborate with both employees and employers to resolve workplace disputes. Some business owners contribute positively while others create additional challenges.
