The principal of Government Graduate College Kharian, located in Gujrat, has been issued a formal show-cause notice by the Director of Colleges, Shoaib Ashiq Butt. This action was triggered after a flag featuring the image of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was prominently hoisted on the college premises without proper authorization. A video documenting the unauthorized flag display subsequently went viral across social media platforms, drawing immediate negative attention to the department and administration. The official notice explicitly labeled the incident as an act of negligence and misconduct due to the lack of approval from the competent authority. The principal is now required to submit a detailed explanation to prevent the recommendation of disciplinary action against them. In the immediate aftermath of the notice being served, the controversial flag was promptly taken down from the college building.
