It has also surfaced that during the tenure of the VC in question; Wakaf Board has witnessed no development at all.
One of the Trustees of Wakaf Board said that from couple of years, the Board has not achieved anything good, instead it has resorted to extension of retired employees. He said the incumbent VC has not taken Board of Directors into confidence ever since he has assumed the charge.
