Young doctors and other health staff had staged a protest sit-in near the Red Zone to press for their demands.

The doctors staged sit-in pressing for protection to doctors and other hospital staff and providing medical facilities in govt-run hospitals of Balochistan.
Earlier, the Balochistan High Court had directed the Young Doctors Association (YDA) to windup their sit-in.
The high Court had told the protesting members of Young Doctors Association (YDA) who have been boycotting the government hospitals’ OPDs that they cannot go on a strike anymore. The court said that those who will boycott the official duty will be sacked from the service.
A two-member bench of the BHC comprising Chief Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan and Justice Abdullah Baloch passed this order during the hearing of a constitutional petition filed against the boycott of OPDs in government hospitals by the YDA members.
