The chairmen bemoaned the reality that the Sindh government is not paying funds, causing employee salaries to be delayed.

According to the letter, it would be challenging to perform exams if the grant is not granted right away.

Meanwhile, the Sukkur board's chairman warned that if the grant is not issued, the boards "would have to perform examinations by begging."
