LAHORE: The caretaker Chief Minister Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi, paid a visit to the under-construction new emergency section of Services Hospital where he assessed the progress of the ongoing construction activities in the new emergency area.

Expressing his dissatisfaction over delay in completing the finishing work, he directed that all pending work be expedited, even if it requires round-the-clock efforts. Noticing old beds outside the new emergency section, he expressed his displeasure and instructed for new beds to be provided promptly. He voiced his dissatisfaction with air conditioning system installation and ordered its immediate improvement.

Taking swift action, the CM contacted the Secretary Communication and Works, directing him to enhance the facilities in the new emergency area. He further directed that comprehensive planning should be done to stop the water accumulating in the basement.
