University of Health Sciences employees released
LAHORE:A LOCAL Magistrate on Saturday released on bail 22 former employees of the University of Health Sciences (UHS) on the submission of surety bonds.

Former UHS contract employees were arrested in the wake of their alleged plan to block the road on the arrival of Chief Minister Punjab at the varsity on Friday.

Police had registered an FIR under Section 290 and 291 of the Pakistan Penal Code against 22 nominated accused.

The former UHS employees were protesting against the UHS administration and Punjab government for not regularising their services.

The CM Punjab had to visit the UHS to attend a two-day Youth Conference on its first day held under the recently formed Chief Minister Youth Commission.

Some of the sacked employees, while talking to The News, said their families were not allowed to meet them in the lockup while later they were shifted to Nawakot Police Station in prisoner van.

They said that on way to Nawakot the van was stopped for almost four hours in scorching heat which created panic among the sacked employees. It was a clear violation of human rights, they added.The news
