The chief justice expressed concern over recent reports about two lawmakers who allegedly ransacked public properties at the hospital and misbehaved with doctors and other staff members.
“The doctors and health staff are fighting against Covid-19 in the frontline and everyone should support and encourage them instead of creating hurdles for them,” the chief justice observed.

LAHORE:
The 30th session of the Punjab Assembly has been quite different from the previous ones as lawmakers from the PTI-led treasury benches appeared to be playing the role of opposition on several issues.
