Lahore High Court has issued notice to Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority to launch an awareness campaign on Coronavirus. The directive was issued by Chief Justice LHC Mamoon Rashid Sheikh.
The Chief Justice inquired Punjab Government’s attorney on whether there’s a television campaign to create awareness of the virus. The attorney responded that relevant material had been put up in public places, particularly hospitals.
“I saw that something has been started on television as well,” a publication quoted the chief justice who then instructed Pemra to run a TV campaign on the matter.
Notably, the directives were issued during the hearing of a case against surgical masks shortage in the market. Punjab Government’s attorney informed the court that an FIR had been registered on this issue.
