KARACHI, Jan 3: Sindh Minister for Human Rights Nadia Gabol has issued directive to the provincial health secretary to make arrangement for the posting of female medico-legal officers (MLOs) at all government hospitals in the province.

A statement issued here on Saturday said the minister took notice of the reports appearing in a section of the press suggesting that male MLOs were performing postmortem examination of women’s bodies at the government hospitals in the interior of Sindh, and said that the practice was not proper. —APP
