KARACHI: Former chief minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah s daughter Prof Nusrat Shah has been appointed, on political grounds, as the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, for an indefinite period just one month before her retirement.
She will retire on May 5. Nusrat Shah s tenure is not specified in the notification issued by Additional Secretary Boards and Universities Alamuddin Bullo. According to the rules, the notification should have mentioned the period or retirement.
