Insiders tell JournalismPakistan.com all employees drawing less than Rs50000 a month have been given a 15% raise.
Those in the know say the raise came only after several reporters and editors began leaving the organization.
Earlier, the management twice promised the staffers their salaries would be enhanced but did not honor their promise.
The prolonged wait however ended when the staff got the much awaited raise with their September salaries.
