Punjab University Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Monday took notice of the publication of a wrong map of Pakistan on a flex related to a workshop organised by the Department of Secondary Education, Institute of Education and Research (IER).
On his directives, Assistant Professor Dr Abida Nasreen of IER has been suspended for 90 days with an immediate effect and a departmental inquiry has been initiated.
A PU spokesperson said Dr Mujahid Kamran was in Islamabad on Monday morning and later in the evening he summoned an emergency meeting of IER’s Board of Governors on the same day.
According to him, a workshop was organised at IER’s Waheed Shaheed Hall on September 4 by Department of Secondary Education. In a flex, which was printed according to the theme of the workshop, a wrong map of Pakistan without showing geographical boundaries of Kashmir was mistakenly published due to negligence.
