PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is in a fix as it has yet to decide whether to take action against Minister for Health and Finance Taimur Saleem Jhagra for violating the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs).
The provincial home secretary and attorney general were scheduled to hold a meeting Tuesday night to discuss the issue. It is to be noted that the KP government has banned all public gatherings and dining at restaurants in the province.

It is common knowledge that the real numbers are much higher than what is being reported officially. The FIR was lodged at the Sarband Police Station for violating sections 6 through 17 of the KP Epidemic Control and Emergency Relief Act 2020 after photos of an Iftar party featuring the minister went viral on social media on Monday.
