HYDERABAD, Dec 16: The Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association (SPLA) on Sunday accused the principals appointed on contract basis of misusing public funds and demanded their removal.

In a press statement, Taj Joyo, central spokesman for SPLA, and central vice-president Yaqoob Chandio said that each college had Rs500,000 to Rs5,000,000 funds at its disposal, which were being misused by the contractual principals.

The department on the one hand had deprived in-service senior professors of their right to promotion and while on the other it had been blind to corruption by the contractual principals, which had almost become order of the day in colleges, they alleged.

They demanded that Sindh governor, chief minister, education minister, chief secretary and secretary of education should put an end to alleged corrupt practices of contractual principals and immediately remove them to end unrest among teaching community.
