ISLAMABAD, Oct 12: The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) is to spare several rooms at the Jinnah Stadium for setting up a temporary hospital to treat the earthquake victims. The rooms will be good enough to accommodate as many as 250 patients at the makeshift hospital which will be run by the local authorities and the CDA.

Earlier on Monday, the PSB announced that each of its employee will donate two days of salary to the quake victims while the Pakistan Sports Trust (PST) would do the same. The PST has already donated equipment and foodstuff worth Rs 2 million to the people affected by the earthquake.
