SANGHAR, July 2: The Primary Teachers’ Association’s Sanghar chapter has accused District Nazim Roshan Din Junejo of interfering in the process of payment of dues to the primary teachers, leading to the lapsing of the funds.

In a press statement, the PTA district president, Naz Mohammad Nizamani and others said that about Rs30 million were released by the Sindh government for the payment of difference bills of selection grade, CT, BEd and other increments after the teachers struggled for five years.

“When the district Nazim came to know about such a huge amount,” read the statement, “he, through a commission mafia, tried to strike a deal with teachers. When the teachers refused to oblige him, he directed the district treasury office to stop payment of the bills to the teachers and ordered the district education authorities to route the files of the difference bills and increments through his office.”

The teachers’ leaders deplored that due to it, the amount lapsed and held the district Nazim responsible for it.

DETAINEE RECOVERED: The civil judge of Shahdadpur recovered an illegally detained person in a raid at the Shahpur Chakar police station here on Tuesday.

A man, Shah Nawaz Kakepoto, informed the district and sessions judge of Sanghar that the SHO of Shahpur Chakar, along with an ASI and other policemen, arrived at the house of his uncle, Khuda Bux Kakepoto, six days back and took him to the police station. He said his uncle was being tortured by the police.

The Shahdadpur civil judge, on the order of the district and sessions judge, raided the police station and recovered the man against whom no FIR was registered.
