The teaching and non-teaching staff of Balochistan University held a march on different roads of Pakistan’s Quetta and staged a sit-in protest over non-payment of their salary for the past four months, Pakistan-based Dawn reported.
The protesting faculty and other staff members raised questions about why funds were not being released when funds for all other departments were always released, according to Dawn report. The protesting faculty and other staff members urged the Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti and members of his parliamentary committee to fulfil their promises by releasing the funds.
Earlier this month, hundreds of teachers and staff members of Balochistan University held a sit-in in front of the Balochistan Assembly, Dawn reported. After staging the sit-in, they marched on the main roads of Quetta over the non-payment of their salaries for the past four months.
