Addressing the conference of the Secretaries of District Drugs Quality Control Boards of Punjab, Caretaker Minister Dr. Jamal Nasir said that no exception should be made to those who inflict diseases in the name of beauty.

The legal status of all beauty salons in Punjab should be checked and health care SOPs should be made for beauty parlors in consultation with the commission, he added.
