Missing doctor: Baloch medics continue to protest

QUETTA: Hunger strike launched by doctors at state-run hospitals in Balochistan against the non-recovery of cardiologist Dr Munaf Tareen entered its 36th day on Sunday. Law enforcers have failed to recover Dr Tareen despite the lapse of two months. “Doctors will continue their strike and intensify it with the passage of time if law enforcers fail to ensure the safe recovery of kidnapped doctors.” The family has not been contacted by kidnappers and they are worried about the health of Mr Tareen,” PMA Secretary General Dr Faiz Hashmi said.
