Drug testing lab staff fired over corruption
[NATION.PK] LAHORE - Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif yesterday fired the whole staff of Lahore’s Drug Testing Lab, replacing it with new team which is now being headed by new director, Dr Shafique-ur-Rehman. Presiding over a meeting, the chief minister took significant initiatives to ensure provision of quality medicines by accelerating a campaign launched for the elimination of spurious and substandard drugs in the province. Among the notable steps, the old DTL staff was replaced with fresh and professional team with a hope to make this lab one of the best renowned drug testing labs "not only of Pakistain but the whole world". "Due to disloyalty of previous staff, the drug test reports were being faked before for vested interests so we have wiped out this plague and will do every needful to nip this corrupted evil in bud from all other departments," Shehbaz Sharif said while addressing the meeting. "This new staff including director has been appointed at merit basis and trained under supervision of Punjab Forensic Science Agency and staff will be sent to foreign renowned institutes for more professional trainings," he added.
