| [DAWN] Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, while presiding over the provincial cabinet meeting at CM House on Monday, directed the health department to make necessary arrangements for the treatment of the eight-year-old boy whose both arms had to be amputated due to severe burns he sustained after an 11,000-Volt electrical wire fell on him in the street where he was playing on Aug 25. The incident took place in Ahsanabad Sector-4 off Superhighway. As a result of the electric shock, both of Umar’s arms were badly burnt and doctors had to amputate them in order to save his life. "I want to rehabilitate him at any cost and the provincial government would bear all the treatment expenses wherever it is possible," he said. The provincial cabinet also took up the issue of overhead cables hanging everywhere in the city. The chief minister, on the recommendation of the cabinet, constituted a committee under the local government secretary to talk to the relevant quarters to remove all overhead cables of internet, telephone, TV cables and others. |
