The office-bearers of the association affirmed their commitment to continue struggle for the rights of faculty at GKMC, which were being denied by the KP government.
They said that they had resigned from their well-established jobs and joined the GKMC but the government was reluctant to award allowances to them.
They said that second batch of students had been admitted to the college but was yet to be recognised by the PMDC due to which both the students and faculty were faced with hardships.
