HYDERABAD: Members of the Sindh Information Commission (SIC) inspected the records of the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUM­HS) Jamshoro under Section 13 of the Sindh Right to Information and Transparency Act, 2016.

Information Commi­ssioners Muham­mad Saleem Khan and Noor Muhammad Dayo conducted the inspection in the presence of LUMHS Vice Chancellor Dr Ikram Ujjan, director of admissions and other relevant officers of the university.

Abdul Khaliq, a complain­ ant who was present during the process, had approached the SIC after the non-provision of the record which he had requested from the university.

Both members of the commission thoroughly examined the educational record and other credentials of three students of MBBS admitted last year at LUMHS.

The commissioners, while appreciating the act­ive website of the university, directed that it be further improved to ensure access to information and transparency in the conduct of the affairs of this institution.

It was further directed to assign one more officer of the university as designated officer / PIO for prompt disposal of complaints / requests for information.

The designated officers apologised for the delay in the provision of information. The vice chancellor assured the commissioners that the directives of the commission would be implemented.
