Lahore:A dispute erupted between doctors at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) when Assistant Professor Dr. Ghous allegedly assaulted his junior, Dr. Ejaz Kharal, in the lab. In response to the incident, Young Doctors held a protest and ceased work in various departments.

Medical Superintendent (MS) Dr. Shoaib has formed a committee to investigate the matter, and the committee is expected to submit its report within three days.
