The Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Tuesday directed police to conduct raids across the province to recover a kidnapped doctor, Dr Saeed Ahmed. A divisional bench of the BHC took a suo motu on the issue. BHC Chief Justice Qazi Faez Essa said Dr Ahmed’s abduction was shameful. The court asked the CCPO to conduct raids across the province and approach the court in case of any hurdle.
The court also stated that the provincial government had failed to protect the public. Meanwhile, doctors’ strike in government hospitals of Quetta continued on Tuesday. Patients have been suffering from the continued suspension of OPD and other services in government facilities but the doctors are adamant in continuing their strike until Dr Ahmed was found. On Monday, the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) had called a general body meeting and decided to continue the strike.
