 [Dawn] Police allegedly baton-charged the protesting paramedics on Wednesday and jugged
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
big shots and scores of other activists of the Punjab Paramedical Alliance (PPA).
The lower-cadre employees of the state-run hospitals were protesting outside the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) for service structure and regularisation of daily wagers and contract colleagues.
Condemning the police action, the paramedics went on a complete strike all over the province and locked diagnostic services including laboratories at sate-run hospitals.
Witnesses said protesters wanted to march towards the CM's House at GOR from the PIC when the police used force.
Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had promised last year to evolve a service structure for all paramedics. Later, the CM had been holding out assurances to paramedics whenever they launched protest. Wednesday's was another major but 'peaceful' protest for the same purpose.
Several paramedics suffered injuries as the police allegedly thrashed and tortured them to foil their attempt to reach CM's House.
Seeing they were injured, somebody called for the... ummm... paramedics.
