KARACHI: Sindh Governor Imran Ismail on Tuesday said the investigative report about the PIA airbus A320 crash had yet to come and speculations about the tragedy should be set aside at this time.

He said when the report would come then reasons for the plane crash would be known whether there was some technical fault in the plane or any other issue.

The governor said Prime Minister Imran Khan had directed for taking care and providing the affected families with facilities.

He stated this while talking to media persons after enquiring about the health of injured persons of the plane crash at Burns Centre of the Civil Hospital Karachi.

Governor Ismail said those who got burns where being treated at the centre, adding that a team of experts for DNA tests had come from Lahore and it was doing its work.

He further said it would take 10 to 15 days for DNA test results.

Imran Ismail said dead bodies of the plane crash victims were at morgues and the bereaved families could visit those to identify and collect the bodies of their loved ones as some of the families had already collected those.

The governor went around the beds of injured victims suffering from burns as a result of the plane crash.

He directed the doctors for better treatment of the injured persons and provision of best medical facilities to them.
