HYDERABAD: The hunger strike unto death by five unsuccessful candidates of the combined competitive examination (CCE) 2024 of the Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) entered its second day on Sunday, with Young Doctors Association (YDA) members providing medical treatment to them as they showed signs of deteriorating health.
A group of doctors led by Dr Vinesh Kumar visited the hunger strikers’ camp and administered drips to all five hunger strikers, Wajahat Hingorjo, Zabiullah Mastoi, Fakhar Zaman Khuhanro, Sikki Ladho Chandio and Hussain Bux Chandio. YDA leader Dr Roshan Chandio formed a team to visit the hunger strikers. “The candidates are clearly weak and showing low blood pressure,” Dr Vinesh, a doctor serving in LUH’s medicine ward, told Dawn on Sunday.
He said he had asked them to visit the hospital, but they declined. He added that all five hunger strikers were already physically weak, even otherwise. They had earlier been provided with mosquito nets, he said, since their camp was set up near a drain.
“Luckily, none of them is suffering from malaria or dengue, but necessary precautions are being taken,” he said.
