The team visited various localities of the town and requested the people to inform the officials concerned if they had any knowledge about quacks' clinics. TREATMENT:

Lahore Development Authority's director general Abdul Jabbar Shaheen has announced bearing officially the expenses of the medical treatment of the 18-year-old daughter of a temporary Wasa employee.

Nadir Masih's daughter Sania had received serious spinal-cord injury after she fell down from the roof a few days back. As Nadir was unable to bear treatment expenses he submitted an application to the director-general and sought from him the financial help. Suspect:

Law enforcement agencies took into custody a suspect from Johar Town late on Thursday night.

A senior police official told Dawn, requesting not to be named, that the arrest came on the information that an alleged terrorist wanted by law enforcement agencies was present at a house in Johar Town.
