Rs440m projects approved for Bannu university
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has approved development schemes worth Rs440 million for the University of Science and Technology, Bannu, said the varsity’s director planning Mohammad Nawaz Khan on Friday.
Talking to mediapersons, he said the varsity’s vice-chancellor, Prof Dr Kheruzzaman, had approached the provincial government to seek approval for several development projects.
“The new schemes include construction of the first and second floors of the academic block, over one kilometre road and an overhead water tank,” he said, adding that sufficient funds would be spent on installation of power transformer, water supply and construction of drainage system in the university.
He said the completion of uplift works would pave the way for launch of the civil and petroleum engineering, pharmacy and law departments in the university.
Lakki Marwat district education officer Zahoor Khan promoted 90 primary schoolteachers to the posts of senior primary schoolteachers (BPS-14) on Friday.
An official said that the promotions were made on the recommendation of departmental promotion committee. He said the newly-promoted teachers had been adjusted against vacant posts of senior teachers in the primary schools. He said that these teachers would remain on probation for one year.
