LAHORE: The entire staff of the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) went on strike after a clash took place between the provincial secretary, Environmental Protection Department, and the provincial minister for Environment here on Tuesday.
EPD sources revealed that the incident took place in the EPD head office when EPD Secretary Zahid Hussain came to his office and found EPD Minister Muhammad Rizwan known as Baoo Rizwan sitting in his office on his chair.
