(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Over the last few days, Polyclinic, Islamabad's second largest government hospital after PIMS, has provided medical attention to the 1,400 policemen deployed in the city due to the PTI and PAT anti-government sit-ins. Most of them belong to the Azad Jammu and Kashmir police, according to the spokesman for Polyclinic.
He said 50 ailing cops belonged to the Islamabad police. According to the spokesman, the policemen complained about temperature, flu, sore throat, aching limbs and diarrhoea and that they fell ill for overtiredness, exposure to rains and winds, and hit and humid weather. "No one of them was in serious condition, so all of them were discharged after treatment."
The spokesman said the hospital's emergency department was open round the clock under the current circumstances and would remain so, while a large cache of blood bags, especially those of O negative group, and medicines were in stock. Meanwhile, a police official said the Islamabad police had organised the general medical examination of cops deployed around sit-in venue.
