PESHAWAR, Oct 4: A nurse has alleged that illegal appointments had been made by the provincial health department.

Sumaira Begum of Takht Bhai told reporters here on Tuesday that a 32-yaer-old woman had been appointed charge nurse in 1999 while the age-limit for the post was 25 years.

She said another charge nurse appointed on the basis of a fake matriculation certificate had been dismissed but no penalty had been imposed on her.—PPI
