Dera Ismail Khan saw Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi express grave concern over the failure to pay salaries and pensions to Gomal University staff. In a video address, the governor decried the worsening financial and administrative woes plaguing the province's universities. The governor lamented the troubles faced by the university's staff, faculty, teachers, Class-IV employees, and others, who were compelled to rally in the streets demanding their due.
These protests, he noted, had disrupted academic pursuits, while the employees' financial distress had also impacted their families. Kundi warned that the province's young population could suffer academically if the situation persisted. He urged the government to safeguard its citizens' legitimate entitlements, including educators, medical professionals, nurses, and local government officials.
The governor urged the provincial administration to prioritize law and order and governance, shunning political rallies and activism. Kundi attributed the universities' financial predicament to what he labeled as unlawful and excessive hiring. He called for a transparent investigation into all alleged illegal appointments made in the universities over the past 13 years.
