AN advertisement placed by the College of Agriculture, University of Sargodha appeared in newspapers.

In the said advertisement the salary offered to a research assistant who should be at least a BSc (hon) in agronomy or preferably an MSc (hon) is Rs15,000 per month while the salary of a Beldar who “should know how to read and write” is offered Rs13,000.

I am speechless, and I am sure so are many others! Can someone in the Punjab government explain?
