It was chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner Tanveer Ahmed Khattak. Representatives of private companies, mills, factories, private schools, hospitals, banks, mobile phone companies, and petroleum firms attended the meeting in large numbers. ADC Khattak directed all companies, factories, banks, and other institutions to provide complete details of their recruitment policies and employees hired under the five per cent quota reserved for persons with disabilities, in line with SHC orders.
He said institutions, factories, mills, beverage companies, hospitals, and other organisations that had not yet submitted their reports were bound to do so within two days.
