HYDERABAD, July 9: The Employees Action Committee of the Sindh Agriculture University of Tandojam on Wednesday appealed to the governor and the chief minister to save the university by ridding it the unbearable of retired professors and officers, including the vice-chancellor.

The committee leaders said at a news conference at the press club here that the vice-chancellor who was working on extension after having been retired in 2004, had appointed 17 retired professors and officers including pro vice-chancellor, director finance, budget officer, principal of Z.A.
