Rohi TV has recently terminated 15 staff members in Multan amid ongoing job cuts. This follows a previous round of layoffs at the Islamabad center, raising concerns about the channel's stability.

Summary

ISLAMABAD: After a lull of almost two weeks, the Rohi TV management has struck again, this time firing 15 staff members in Multan, reports say.

The Seraiki language channel has reportedly terminated three producers, three cameramen, two Non-Linear Editors (NLEs), and several other staff members. The latest round of dismissals highlights ongoing instability within the channel.

These new sackings come on the heels of recent job cuts at the Islamabad center, where 13 members of the production team were laid off in June. Just days before that, the management had sacked their Chief Operating Officer Salman Ali, Director of Programs Usman Adil, Director of Distribution Jamshed Ali, and Senior Producer Intizar Hussain.

This pattern of layoffs indicates significant financial or managerial challenges within Rohi TV, raising concerns about the future of the channel and its remaining employees. The repetitive job cuts have sparked unease among the staff and have drawn attention to the broader issues of job security and management practices in the Pakistani media industry.
