Punjab government dissolves management committee of Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College (Sarhali)

dateline:The Punjab government has dissolved the management committee of renowned college of Tan Taran district, i.e. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, Sarhali. After dissolving the committee of this college, additional deputy commissioner of Tarn Taran has been asked to act as an administrator of the college by the higher education secretary Rahul Bhandari.

Dr. Paramjit Singh Visha, who is a professor at Sri Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, informed that the professors of this college had lodged a complaint to the Punjab government around one year ago that they were not getting their salaries on time from the grant being sent to college by the government for salaries of professors from the last 16 months.

Later, a probe was opened into this matter by the DPI Colleges and the Inquiry committee has submitted a report after investigating the matter. On the basis of this report,  the Governor of Punjab had directed action against the management committee of this college.

Following the orders of Governor of Punjab, higher education secretary Rahul Bhandari has appointed additional deputy commissioner of Tarn Taran as an administrator to run this college transparently.

However, the president of college’s management committee Baba Hakam Singh has described this action as an illegal and one sided. Baba Hakam Singh said that the grant received by the management committee for employees working on aided posts was being paid as salary on right time after adding the amount of contribution by management.
