KARACHI: Encroachments at CHK

Published March 30, 2007

KARACHI, March 29: The Sindh health minister has ordered immediate removal of the encroachments on the Civil Hospital premises, erected under the pretext of feeding area for attendants of patients admitted to the hospital.

Minister Syed Sardar Ahmed, following complaints by the public that walls were being raised at the out-patient department of the CHK by an NGO, made a surprise visit to the site on Thursday.

He directed CHK Medical Superintendent Prof Kaleem Butt to ensure immediate demolition of the unauthorised construction, which was hampering the movements of patients visiting the OPD, under already congested conditions.
