Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday issued notices to Karachi Mayor, Local Bodies Secretary, and District Municipal Corporations (DMCs) till 17th of January, regarding the case of non-payment of salaries to the teachers of Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) schools.

The SHC heard the plea, filed by a group of teachers who stated before the court that 240 teachers of the KMC had not received their salary since 15th December 2015.
