KHAIRPUR: The Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) Director General, Sheraz Latif, has announced that Radio Pakistan’s Khairpur station will not be shut down, bringing an end to a series of protests by artists, officials and lower-grade employees agitating for several days against 20 recent transfers amid rumours of retrenchment.

Mr Latif assured all those associated with the Khairpur station that a digital transmitter would be installed at the station. He was speaking to lower-grade employees during his visit to the station late on Monday evening.

He also promised to cancel some transfers, taken by the employees as ‘unfair’, and said that no lower-grade employee would be transferred in future.
