KARACHI: A three-member team of doctors studied the medical reports of the former president and advised him to undergo an angiography soon, DawnNews reported.

Special arrangements, including the setting up of a separate ward to conduct backbones tests of former military General (R) Pervez Musharraf, were made at the PNS Shifa hospital in Karachi.

Musharraf is expected to be admitted at PNS Shifa later tonight, according to sources who added that lawyers of the former president may file an application in the Sindh HIgh Court seeking the removal of Musharraf's name from the Exit Control List (ECL).

The port city has been on high alert since the arrival of the former military dictator in a chartered airplane yesterday, with roads being cordoned off for security.

Moreover, sources had said the visit of the former military ruler was on account of the security issues confronting him as well as for the continuation of his medical treatment.

It is the first time that the former president, who is reportedly staying at his residence in Zamzama's General's colony in Karachi, has left Islamabad after being indicted in a high treason case by a special court last month.
