LAHORE: Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi has constituted a two-member committee to investigate into electricity breakdown in the operation theatres of the Services Hospital.

‘’I have taken prompt action on receiving information about electricity breakdown in the operation theatres of Services Hospital today. A two-member committee has been constituted under the headship of Secretary Health to investigate the incident. The committee will investigate the electricity breakdown incident from every aspect and will present its report tonight,” Naqvi said in a tweet on Saturday.

The power glitch at the hospital surfaced in a social media video clip showing some doctors in surgical attire deploring the electric supply suspension, hindering treatment of patients. The CM also ordered constitution of a special committee for the upgrade of the holy relics section in Badshahi Mosque.

Naqvi stated that the arrangements to preserve the holy relics attributed to the greatest ever personalities of the world should be of highest quality. Each holy relic should be preserved separately in an excellent manner, he said.
