KP assembly passes resolution over salary delays for lecturers in newly established colleges

PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Apr, 2026) The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Monday passed a resolution expressing serious concern over financial and administrative issues faced by lecturers and staff appointed under the project higher education functionaries in newly established colleges.

The resolution, moved by MPA Dawood Shah, highlighted that young lecturers and other employees under the project have not received their salaries for several months, leaving them in severe financial distress.

It further said that the revision of PC-1 has been delayed within the Planning and Development (P&D) Department, exacerbating the situation.

The resolution called for the matter to be urgently presented before the Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP) to secure approval for the PC-1 revision, which would pave the way for the release of pending salaries.

The assembly unanimously adopted the resolution and urged the provincial government to address the issue on a priority basis to ease growing concerns among teachers and staff.
