Good riddance?: Mobile phone use banned at college

RATODERO:

The use of mobile phones by the staff at the Chandka Medical College Hospital in Larkana has been banned due to rising complaints. “

Anyone found talking on cell phones during duty timings will be held responsible for violating discipline and strict action will be taken as per rules,” warned the hospital’s medical superintendent, Dr Ashfaque Hussain Memon, in an order issued on Monday. Complaints were pouring in against the hospital workers too busy to attend patients. The previous superintendent had also imposed a similar ban. The people have also called for jammers to be installed in all hospital blocks so that patients are taken care of in a better way.
