In a tragic turn of events, a Peace March in Bannu district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ended in chaos as at least four people were killed and several others injured due to firing and a subsequent stampede. The march, which saw thousands of locals taking to the streets, was organized to protest against the escalating terrorism in the district and the broader region.
Reports indicate that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Minister of Public Health, Pakhtoon Yar Khan, displayed remarkable courage as he narrowly escaped a bullet during the incident. Additionally, a rescue vehicle was damaged amidst the turmoil. The injured were swiftly transported to the district headquarters hospital, where some are reported to be in critical condition.
The massive rally was a powerful display of unity in response to the recent surge in terrorist activities. Demonstrators observed a wheel jam strike, effectively shutting down all government offices as part of their protest. They voiced their deep concerns over the deteriorating law and order situation and demanded immediate government action to restore peace and security.
