KARACHI: The resignation of Professor Dr. Hussain Mehdi, Vice Chancellor of Benazir Bhutto Shaheed University Lyari, has been officially rejected by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. Sources from the university confirmed that Dr. Mehdi will continue to serve in his role amidst ongoing administrative challenges.

Dr. Mehdi’s resignation, which was submitted earlier this week, raised concerns regarding the university’s governance and future direction.
