PESHAWAR: The teaching fraternity of the University of Peshawar on Tuesday set a three-day deadline for the vice-chancellor to hold a meeting with their representatives regarding the pressing problems being faced by the university, otherwise, they would launch a protest drive from next week.
The decision was made in the executive body meeting of Peshawar University Teachers Association (PUTA) held here with its president Dr Fazle Nasir in the chair. The meeting discussed that the problems in the university have been intensified and multiplied due the rude and stubborn attitude of vice chancellor Dr Mohammad Idrees.
PESHAWAR: The provincial government has asked the University of Peshawar (UoP) to utilise its assets, including Bara Gali campus, for raising funds for academic and other activities on the campus.
In this regard, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Finance Minister Taimur Saleem Jhagra held a meeting with UoP Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mohammad Idrees at Bara Gali Summer Campus the other day, according to a press release.
“Bara Gali campus and other assets can be used to do away with the financial crisis at the varsity. The government will keep assisting the UoP as part of its strategy to promote education,” the minister said.
