ISLAMABAD: Dunya TV is reported to have fired 12 employees in the last two days with indications the total number may well touch 30 by the end of the week.
A JournalismPakistan.com source says that anchors Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui, Samina Pasha, and Junaid Haleem were among those sacked.
Other journalists laid off include Shakir Solangi (political beat reporter in Islamabad), Anis Sheikh (business head/anchor), Mustansar Sulehri (Assignment Editor), Shah Hussain Naqvi (Assignment Editor OSR), Ahsan Gillani (head of international desk), Shahid Shah (Senior Producer/Input), and three NLEs.
Our source says the channel's management is working on 'right-sizing' the organization. No one was served advance notice, adding to the shock and uncertainty among the employees.
These layoffs are part of a broader restructuring effort at Dunya TV, aimed at addressing managerial and financial challenges faced by the organization.
