LAHORE: Young doctors blocked Jail Road for traffic on Monday to protest murder attacks on their senior colleagues.

They staged a sit-in on the road creating immense trouble for motorists and the other people. The situation was much disturbing for the patients who were denied an access to the health facility.

The young doctors raised slogans against the government for not providing security to the medics, saying a majority of the teaching hospitals had not been manned by the police personnel properly.
