Baba Farid University Suspends Over 200 Employees Amid Recruitment Review
Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) suspended over 200 administrative employees amid concerns about recruitment irregularities. The university's board of management (BoM) questioned appointments made during former Vice-Chancellor Dr Rajeev Sood's tenure, citing violations of rules, including appointments without sanctioned posts or budget approval. A review committee will audit each case, with suspended employees given a chance for personal hearings. Some doctors were also repatriated to original departments. University officials have not disclosed full details, and the former vice-chancellor criticized the BoM's actions.
