Shahzad said action under the Punjab Employees Efficiency Discipline and Accountability (PEEDA) has been initiated against her for her "grave mistake."

On Friday, a workshop was organised by the Department of Secondary Education at the university during which the "wrong map" of Pakistan without Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was shown.

"Abida was responsible for publication of the map," he said. The incident is being investigated and Vice Chancellor Mujahid Kamran has ordered a departmental inquiry.

The inquiry is to be completed within 15 days, he said. Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also taken notice of the incident and has sought a report from the VC.
