Medical college ambulances being misused: The ambulances of Islamabad Model College for Boys (IMCB), F-8/4, which were meant to give medical aid and transport the students to the hospital in case of an accident, are being misused by the principal of the college.
The ambulances have been transformed into luxury vehicles. Despite clear directions of the government, they are under the private use of the principal and are not serving the purpose of facilitating the students.
