The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday issued notice to the Punjab government seeking its reply over measures being taken to curb measles outbreak which has claimed over 50 lives in Punjab since January.
The notice was issued in a case filed by a local lawyer. In his petition, he stated that the Punjab Health Department had not taken sufficient steps to eliminate the disease which caused deaths of children and the number of victims was growing day-by-day.
The court issued notice to the Punjab Health Department ordering it to explain its position and inform the court of the present situation.
