At least 14 newborn babies killed after fire breaks out in Pakistan hospital

This Al Jazeera article corroborates the story of the witness whose video I had posted earlier. Her efforts are the reason one baby survived. Cheap characters like @Waterboy were casting aspersions on her testimony.

Locked inside: Grief and anger as Pakistan hospital fire kills 14 newborns

A nursery for critical infants — supposedly the safest place in Islamabad's PIMS hospital — turned into a deathtrap.

Tragic news.

There will be no accountability. No lessons learnt. No justice. Nothing.

This is Pakistan. People are sheep and slaves.

All hail the Military Generals

hat problem exists across civilian institutions regardless of whatever political theory you have constructed in your head, and whatever political party has been in power.

And here's the simplest test:

Remove the military from politics tomorrow. Would PIMS suddenly become functional?

Would the same bureaucracy disappear?
Would incompetent administrators suddenly become competent?

How were civilian institutions destroyed? Who gave vacancies on a political basis? NS/Zaradri (Mayo, Railway, PIA). If yes, where did they get the patronage from despite corruption and incumbency? Why were NROs given?
Why our hockey/cricket is no good anymore? Sure, if the current system or Army goes back, the bogus structure cannot sustain as it is rotten from the inside.

So if you are blaming the military for a specific death, show the specific military decision that caused it. Not “they rule the country,” not “CMH is better,” not “the government was installed by them.”

All doors, including the fire escape, were locked for security reasons (terrorism + child abduction). That prevented the fire brigade from accessing the children's ward through a shortcut. Whose responsibility is security? Who appointed the IG and Commissioner in Islamabad? Isn't he some captain?
