Educators for end to disparity

Published January 29, 2007

GUJRANWALA, Jan 28: The educators association has given vent to its disquiet for not regularising them in Grade-14 like BA English teachers and called for the education department to put an end to the disparity.

At a meeting held here on Sunday presided over by association president Ashfaq Anjum, the participants said that the education department had appointed BA English teachers as headmasters of primary schools at a monthly salary of Rs11,000.

On the contrary, they said, that educators teaching almost all subjects in educational institutions were being paid only Rs4,200 per month which was unjustified.

NO CLUE: Despite the Supreme Court’s orders, the police failed to recover the two sisters abducted from their house some two years back in Lallapur village, Naushera Virkan.

While the police on Sunday enhanced a cash prize from Rs100,000 to Rs500,000 for providing information about the whereabouts of the two sisters.

Reports said that both sisters, `S’ and `H’, were present in their house when some unidentified men had abducted them. The police had registered an abduction case, but failed to make any headway in the recovery of the two sisters.

Taking a suo motu notice, the apex court had summoned senior police officers in court and ordered them to recover the two abducted sisters immediately.

KILLED: A woman was killed while some dozen other passengers sustained injuries when a wagon rammed into a stationary truck on Alipur Chattha Road here on Sunday.

Reports said that the wagon was on its way to Gujranwala from Alipur Chattha when the incident occurred. As a result, Rashidan Bibi died on the spot while four children were among the injured. They were admitted to the local DHQ Hospital in serious condition.
