According to the notification, Dr. Abdul Rauf Khaskheli, who is also the current registrar, has been appointed as a professor in the 21 grade in the pharmacy department which means he issued/ signed his own appointment/ offer letter.
Meanwhile, additional registrar Dr. Fahad Gibran Siyal son of Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Siyal has also been issued an order on the two positions of associate professor of pharmacology and associate professor of pharmacy at the same time.
Dr. Siyal was appointed as demonstrator in SMBBMU in 2012 in BPS-17. Later he got the position of lecturer BPS-18 in 2013.
