TDCP Workers and Staff Union General Secretary Muhammad Adil Saleem wrote a letter to Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, wherein he stated that the TDCP had been working for the promotion of the country’s tourism industry for the past 33 years. The general secretary stated that TDCP pays its staff out of the income it generates and no funds are taken from the government, however, under the present circumstances, it is difficult to pay the staff as the tourism industry had been closed. On the condition of anonymity, an employee of TDCP told this scribe that although the government made plans for the betterment of the organisation, they were never materialised. He lamented that that despite government’s tall claims, it appears that TDCP and tourism is not a priority of the government. “We have given one-month salary to the staff and are trying to give them the remaining salary before Eid,” he added.
