QUETTA Sept 20 (Online): The strike by young doctors is in progress against the abduction of doctors of government hospitals in the city; Pakistan Medical Association also warned to begin absolute strike at all government hospitals in the province.

It should be mentioned here that Heart Specialist Dr. Munaf Tareen was abducted three days ago near Pishin Stop. The abduction took place some days after Assistant Professor Dr. Muhammed Ahmed was recovered.

The PMA Balochistan threatened to kick-start complete strike in all government hospitals across Balochistan, as the provincial president of association Dr. Sultan Tareen asserted that government did not spring into action despite the abductors were identified.

He noted the association informed the government that the kidnapped doctor was kept in Miranshah, adding the association’s representatives are doing their bit for the release; but, the administration did not do anything in this regard.

“We will go on strikes. We will come on roads,” the PMA Balochistan official warned.

Balochistan Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik Baloch directed the concerned authorities to make arrangements for the early recovery of Dr. Munaf and a report be produced to him in this connection on daily basis.
