The University of the Punjab is dealing with a major financial crisis that's causing a serious delay in paying salaries. For the first time ever, about 1,100 staff members, including teachers and senior officers, haven’t been paid for July. This has caused a lot of worry and stress among these employees. 

Normally, the university makes sure salaries are paid by the 30th of each month. But because of its financial troubles, it hasn’t been able to meet this deadline. As of August 8, the July salaries still haven’t been paid, putting many staff members in a tough financial situation. 

This delay shows how serious the university’s financial problems have become. It raises concerns about whether the university can manage its finances and keep up with its commitments in the future. Staff members are worried and frustrated, and there’s a lot of uncertainty about what will happen next. 

The financial strain on the University of the Punjab reflects a bigger issue faced by many public universities. They are struggling with higher costs and limited budgets. This situation needs urgent action to fix the crisis and make sure that staff get paid for their work.(Salary Delays in Higher Education)
