Taking measures: Committee to investigate medicine theft

LARKANA: The medical superintendent of Chandka Medical College Hospital (CMCH), Larkana, has constituted an inquiry committee to probe the theft of government-provided medicines.

He demanded that action be taken against the employee. In response, an inquiry committee was set up, comprising two additional medical superintendents, Dr Majeed Jessar and Dr Ahmed Ali Brohi, and one resident medical officer, Dr Jehangir Awan. The committee has been directed to submit the report within three days.
