@PakSarfrazbugti Even after the change of MD in BTEVTA, nothing has improved. Our process is still stuck at the same point where it was before. It has been a full year now, and we are being asked to arrange the visa ourselves first, and BTEVTA will reimburse the expenses later.
Upon receiving the allegations, we promptly transferred the Managing Director of B-TEVTA and initiated a formal inquiry through CMIT. The entire matter is now under review by the newly appointed MD, and the process will take some time before normal operations resume. Anyone found to have misappropriated public funds will be held accountable and made an example in accordance with the law.
Update on Dr. Mahrang Baloch
My mother and I visited the jail to see my sister, Dr. Mahrang Baloch today. We were forced to wait for eight hours and were then only allowed to speak with her over the telephone, separated by a thick glass wall.
The jail staff is undergoing a complete overhaul, with new personnel being brought in. The jail superintendent has already been transferred, and other officials are reportedly next in line. According to the jail staff, the prison is under strict control of intelligence agencies, with surveillance cameras installed throughout. A separate room is being prepared for meetings, equipped with cameras, microphones, and other monitoring devices.
Despite the High Court’s directive allowing us to meet Mahrang, we are still being denied in-person visits. Her rights as a prisoner are being blatantly violated.
Mahrang has fallen severely ill due to food poisoning and has been sick for the past three days. Her condition worsened last night. We have repeatedly requested that jail authorities allow a doctor to examine her, but no medical specialist has been permitted to visit. Yesterday, a junior doctor conducted a brief check-up, which was entirely inadequate. Beebow informed me that Mahrang was unwell throughout the night.
We demand that an independent medical board of experienced doctors be allowed to examine her immediately. She appears extremely weak and fragile, and we strongly believe something is seriously wrong with her health.
I appeal civil society, the media, and the legal community to take immediate action, ensuring that court orders are enforced and that my sister receives the urgent medical care and justice she deserves.

Punjab University, Lahore has issued my suspension orders applying allegations that I, the miscreant student, have used university platform to pollute students minds against state institutions. And that my conduct has badly injured the reputation & integrity of the educational institute.
It's to be noted that this notice deliberately renders to a protest that was held 2 months back and reads the date of issuance as June 14.
While I'm receiving this letter on August 12, 2024 when I myself went to check for it. I wasn't even issued a charge sheet prior to this.
So it's clear that it has been issued post the Raaji Muchi participation deliberately putting previous dates.
This depicts that not only state is targeting the participants of Raaji Muchi with its forces and authorities but even the educational institutions are not giving any exception in punishing the Baloch students for peaceful politics.
The inappropriate language and words used against me, being a female Baloch student, are in itself a question mark to the institute's socalled discipline and values.
This intentional attempt prior to a week before my annual exams, is to harm my educational career and a heinous attack on my personal & moral character.
The institue must follow up the negotiations signed by the state with BYC.
Punjab University must cancel this suspension letter and take its baseless allegations back.
