Up to 15 people were wounded and admitted to the Kamalia TehsilHeadquarters hospital. One of them, Abdul Rashid, was referred to the Toba District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital.

UPGRADE: The Pirmahal Rural Health Centre (RHC) has been upgraded to the tehsil headquarter hospital, said MNA Chaudhry Asadur Rehman.

Pirmahal was declared the headquarters of a new tehsil of Toba district in 2013 but its hospital was still functional as an R HC.

Mr Rehman said at a PML-N workers meeting in Pirmahal on Tuesday the chief minister had ordered its upgrade and Rs300 million had also been released for the purpose.
