Employees in several KP universities unpaid for two months

By IBNS
Aug 5, 2024 ..

The financial crisis in Pakistan's  Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa region is not over yet with Islamia Collage University and University of Agriculture Peshawar employees still not received their salaries for the past two months.


The provincial government has always claimed the higher education as the top priority sector for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government but despite these tall claims no heed is paid to the problem and subsequently there is no end in sight to the crisis, reported The express Tribune.

Talking to The Express Tribune, Vice Chancellor Agriculture University, Professor Dr. Jehan Bakht, said the fiscal deficit is so severe that if they collect funds and arrange payment of salaries for one month the next month they don’t have enough funds and this gap is almost impossible to bridge.

He is also the chairman of the four Universities of the campus including University of Peshawar, Agriculture University, University of Engineering and Technology and Islamia Collage University.

“We need at least Rs200 million to enable the university to pay its 1,200 employees and pensioners,” he told the newspaper, adding that the provincial government was repeatedly requested to provide the required amount but with no avail.
