PESHAWAR:
A group of Peshawar University students have begun a charity campaign after the varsity announced it was not able to pay full salaries to its employees from February onwards due to the suffering caused by the worst economic crisis the institute has ever witnessed.
They have established a camp in which everyone can visit and donate in order to help the university financially.
Muhammad Arsalan, a student of the university, who stands on the main entrance of the campus to collect charity from passers-by, told The Express Tribune that it was unfortunate that the government - federal and provincial - can’t provide the oldest alma mater in the province without financial assistance.
