The hospital administration formed an inquiry committee which is currently holding a meeting to discuss the matter while the doc has already fired from the job? Did I read it right?

Excellent, bold and correct decision by the administration of the famous and historic Khyber Medical Teaching Hospital in Peshawar to fire the ICU doctor for sexually harassing a female nurse. All hospitals must have a zero tolerance policy in crucial cases like this. Well done and keep it up.

As a matter of fact women in the name of right where such horrible dresses that force a man to look greedily or act violently. Why don't the society put pressure on women to look respectable.

As a Pakistani girl I must say harassment is a daily issue in our lives. Covering yourself with chaadar to protect us from stares or working environment unwanted advances, where you have to ignore aggressive rude behavior many times. It's a problem which needs social behavior change. We must stand against injustice regardless of our gender. Gladly Pakistan is changing, more and more women are working side by side with our men to make Pakistan a better place for all. Social awareness of a good behavior has improved a lot since the days when my mom was working as a teacher at a govt school. I have many male friends who stand with us to protect us from any awkward social behavior. I try to post comments here so even if one person read my words I feel I'm making a change, by no means i'm doing male bashing, I'm blessed to have a great father, great husband and supportive male colleagues who have been very caring and kind of fellow girl coworkers.
