HYDERABAD, Aug 15: The LUMHS Jamshoro held a ballot for two employees to perform Haj.

Vice Chancellor Prof Noshad Ahmed Shaikh supervised the balloting. A technician and a watchman were the lucky among 265 applicants from Grade 1-16.

The VC said that LUMHS was a model varsity where complete harmony between the administration and employees existed.

“LUMHS is the first Pakistani university to have introduced health insurance policy for the benefit of its employees,” he said.

He also announced free of cost plots for employees to construct and promised to provide good infrastructure, including water, gas and electricity.

Registrar, Syed Ghulam Qadir Shah, on behalf of employees thanked the vice chancellor. He said next year, Haj balloting will also be held for gazetted officers.
