KHAIRPUR: Council employees continue strike

KHAIRPUR, Nov 10: Over 800 employees, including office staff and sanitary workers, of the Khairpur Taluka Council continued their strike for the second consecutive day here on Wednesday.

They are protesting against non-payment of their October salaries and Eid advance, announced by the Sindh government.

TEACHERS: Shah Latif University Teachers' Society general- secretary Syed Asad Shah Abidi has said university teachers have not drawn their salaries for October.

Talking to journalists here on Tuesday evening, he said the university administration had deducted 30 per cent of their salaries which was an injustice as Eid was ahead.

He admitted that some dues in heads of tours, sports and media were outstanding against some teachers.

He condemned the decision of the university authorities and said such a deduction should not have been made on the eve of Eid.

BODY FOUND: The decapitated body of a resident of the Saeed Khan Suhag village, Kingri taluka, was found on Wednesday morning.

The villager, Dodo Khan Suhag, had gone to his fields on Tuesday but had not returned home.

His relatives started search and found his body in a banana orchard, two kilometres off the village.
