“Government should take the demand of young doctors serious and should act on them instantly to solve the matter to ensure smooth functioning of government hospitals,” said Sami Zarkoon.

Imdad Baloch lamented the attitude of provincial government which has forced the educated lot of society to come on roads and protest for their due rights.
“Government of Balochistan and district Administration of Quetta has completely mishandled the protest of young doctors and exposed their incompetence,” added Mr. Baloch.
Sami Zarkoon appreciated the instant action taken by Chief Minister Balochistan on the issue. “More needs to be done by government to tackle the issue and dispense justice,” demanded convener of CSB.
CSB ensured its full support to YDA and vowed to unequivocally support them in their campaign for getting their due rights.
