Sir: With the outbreak of COVID-19, the whole world is appreciating and saluting doctors for their services and contributions and fight against the pandemic. No doubt, they are the front-line fighting force against this deadly virus by putting their lives at risk for saving humanity. It is unfortunate that the doctors in Balochistan were beaten-charged and arrested after their justified demand of PPEs, safety mask and testing kits. According to reports, five are infected by this COVID-19 due to the unavailability of basic equipment. It is high time the government must realise their worth and facilitate them to fight against pandemic in the province. AZIZ HASIL DASHTI Kech
