Doctors, students and paramedics boycotted the out-patients department (OPD) and held a rally against the kidnapping of two doctors from Jacobabad for a second consecutive day, on Tuesday.
The protesters criticised the police for not making any headway in the case even though 48 hours have passed.
They shouted slogans against the government, marched through the city and staged a sit-in at Minara Road. The OPD boycott will continue from 10 am to 12 am daily for the next two days.
The demonstration was held by the Pakistan Medical Association, Ghulam Mohammad Mahar Medical College Teachers Association and Pakistan Islamic Medical Association. The doctors, Prof. Dr Imtiaz Ali Wagan of Dow Medical College Karachi, and Dr Azhar Ali Shah of GMMMC, went missing on Sunday afternoon while returning from Jacobabad to Sukkur.
