LAHORE:Punjab Minister for Information and Culture Azma Bokhari has said a fire broke out in a gynaecology ward of Lahore General Hospital (LGH) on Tuesday morning was brought under control by the hospital staff within a few minutes.

She said that no patient, attendant or member of the medical staff sustained any harm.
