Published November 18, 2008

SUKKUR, Nov 17: Token hunger strike entered into third day on Monday by more than 40 commission passed candidates outside the press club.

Safar Kalhoro, Shafqat Chachar, Imtiaz, Wali Muhammad, and others led hunger strikers. They told newsmen that they were not issued posting orders despite court orders. They alleged that posting orders of some lecturers were issued on the basis of favouritism which was injustice with others.

They demanded of the government to give posting orders to 625 commissioned passed lecturers of Sindh immediately.
