Ruling party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s Member of National Assembly (MNA) Sardar Riaz Mehmood Mazari has said that the citizens of Punjab’s Rajanpur district have to go to Sindh to avail coronavirus testing facilities.
The PTI lawmaker, while addressing the floor of the House on Tuesday, said that the people of his constituency NA 195 have been going to the hospitals of Sindh for coronavirus testing due to lack of health services in their own hometown.
He said that district Rajanpur is the most ‘underdeveloped’ region of Punjab. “It’s the only district where people are still deprived of Sui gas, despite the fact that the pipeline that provides gas to Sindh, including its capital Karachi, goes from Rajanpur.
Meanwhile it was reported on Monday that the health authorities of Punjab have reported a drop in the cases and the resultant deaths from the virus. According to official data, there had been a drop of almost 1,000 cases in the province on Sunday. Similarly, the deaths due to the virus have also seen a decline of around 20 cases. Particularly, a decline of approximately 400 cases was witnessed in the provincial capital Lahore only.
