BackA widow approached the Provincial Ombudsman Sindh for a delay in payment of Group Insurance in respect of her deceased husband who was Agriculture Officer (BS-17) in Agriculture Department, Government of Sindh and died during service.
To redress the grievance of the complainant, the Ombudsman Sindh issued directives to the authorities concerned to initiate an enquiry in the matter. As a consequence of the Ombudsman’s intervention, the scrutiny process was expedited by the agency.
