PESHAWAR: University of Peshawar (UoP) has stopped the 10-day salary of a number of the teaching staff on the charges of non-performance of duties.
The teachers, whose salaries were stopped included Dr Syed Owais, assistant professor, Dr Javeria Raza, Dr Naila Aman Qazi, Dr Zafar Khan and Ms Shehla Khan, lecturers in the Department of sociology.
Peshawar University Teachers Association (Puta) alleged this was because the teachers remained absent from campus for participation in the recent strike of teachers.A notification on Monday stated: “On the recommendation of the chairman, Department of Sociology, the faculty members of the department are treated as on leave without pay due to non-performance of duties since the day one of PUTA’s strike call with effect from 28-6-2021 to 7-7-2021.”
