  "account": "The administration of the University of Karachi has implemented a new policy prohibiting all staff members, both teaching and non-teaching, from disseminating university-related information on social media platforms. This directive was communicated by Registrar Dr Imran Ahmed Siddiqui through an official notification. Employees are now obligated to seek prior authorization from the appropriate authority before uploading or forwarding any university-related documents or information to social media. The university administration has observed instances of official letters and office orders, particularly those pertaining to employee and officer transfers, postings, additional charges, and suspensions, being shared without authorization in various social media groups. Consequently, all teaching and non-teaching staff are instructed not to post or share any official documents or information on social media without obtaining the necessary approval beforehand. Furthermore, the sharing of such content with unauthorized individuals is strictly prohibited. The notification emphasizes that any breach of this policy will be addressed seriously and may result in disciplinary action in accordance with relevant laws, specifically citing Rule 18 of the Government Servants Conduct Rules 1964. The university asserts that only designated information for public release will be disseminated through its official social media channels or other authorized platforms.",
