Karachi:
Karachi’s government hospitals have been lit with green and white lights, while medical and paramedic staff have completed events to celebrate the independence day with national and traditional zeal. Civil Hospital, Karachi Institute of Heart Diseases and other hospitals are decorated with national flags and electric lanterns.
The hospital’s administration has completed a light-up program, national songs and flag-hoisting ceremonies at night on August 13. Citizens have been asked to avoid air firing during the festivities as it can be life -threatening.
According to doctors, bullets fired in the air can return to earth and demand innocent life, making it all the responsibility to show restraint. Emergency Incharge at Civil Hospital Karachi, Dr. Imran Sarwar, said that air firing causes serious injuries and fatalities.
As responsible for the emergency department, he and his team see dozens of cases every year when people are injured by stray bullets. He emphasized that it is not only a matter of law enforcement, but also a demand for humanity and morality.
