PESHAWAR:

The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) government and the governor have been at loggerheads over the provincial government's bid to transfer the chancellorship of public universities to the Chief Minister.

The governor has started consultations with a legal team for possible legal action in that regard.

According to Governor Faisal Karim Kundi, he will also exercise other options available to him to deal with the provincial government.
