Police, Rangers, hospital administration and civil administration have jointly chalked out a security plan for Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi (CHK) to avoid any unpleasant situation in the future, said DIG South Sharjeel Kharal during a visit to the facility.

The development comes days after dozens of people vandalised the CHK and attacked doctors, allegedly due to a delay in handing over the body of a Covid-19 patient.

The DIG said that under the new security plan, an additional force will be deployed at the entry gate and emergency of the hospital. An anti-riots platoon will be also deployed.

In addition, video recording will be carried out through CCTV cameras and communication with the hospital will be further enhanced to ensure security to doctors and medics.
