LARKANA: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) Larkana chapter and Chandka Teachers Association (CTA) have welcomed the Sindh government’s step to remove retired personnel from the seat of vice chancellorship and install in-service reputable teachers to run the universities affairs.

PMA and CTA general secretary Dr Ikram Ahmed Tunio said on Friday that with this kind of arrangement, the government could end the element of corruption at the highest seats of learning.

It was a good omen whereby universities’ affairs would effectively and efficiently be handled and merit would rule, he said.
