LAHORE: The Punjab Home Department has decided to deploy Rangers personnel at important places in Lahore on Thursday to avoid any untoward incident in the city.

Deployment of the Rangers in Punjab has been approved by the interior ministry. They will be stationed outside Governor House, the Punjab Assembly, the Civil Secretariat, the Lahore High Court, GPO Chowk and the Supreme Court Registry.

Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid said that stern action would be taken against the lawyers who tortured doctors, damaged vehicles and obstructed treatment facilities at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology.

“We are standing with doctors who have been tortured and will take the culprits to their logical end,” she said.

Two FIRs have been lodged against over 250 lawyers for attacking the Punjab Institute of Cardiology on Wednesday.

One FIR was lodged on behalf of the doctors who were attacked and the police lodged another one.

At least 12 patients had died and 25 doctors had been wounded after a group of lawyers on Wednesday stormed the PIC and subjected multiple doctors to torture in Lahore, Young Doctors Association (YDA) claimed.

Videos of the violence committed by lawyers had surfaced on social media. The 12 patients including a woman admitted to the hospital for treatment passed away during this riot.
