Toy guns

Published August 1, 2015

EID is considered an occasion for happiness and brotherhood. To bolster this, charity is distributed to promote brotherhood among the poor in society. However, this Eid, I saw our children take to toy guns for pleasure.

The district administration took some steps to stop the sale of toy guns and seized some of them from various shops.But this is not enough. The authorities concerned should close down the factories of toy guns to completely end this business.

I believe their import should also be banned in the best interests of the nation.
