The University of Balochistan (UoB) employees on Monday protested against the non-payment of salaries.

The protesters chanted full-throated slogans to end the financial crisis at the university. They chanted, “Provide the employees with the right to live.”

Faculty and staff members demanded that the UoB’s financial crisis be resolved immediately.

The Joint Action Committee boycotted teaching until the financial crisis at the institution ended. Classes, offices, and transport were also closed at the university, and adjacent sub-campuses also witnessed boycott.

The UoB’s Joint Action Committee announced a boycott of all services in protest of the financial crisis.

The leader of the Joint Action Committee, Professor Kaleem Barech, said, “The Balochistan University employees have not been paid for the last two months. The boycott will continue until the end of the financial crisis and the payment of salaries.”
