This news shattered myself!!Nothing can be as painful as the death of a child!!! May the Almighty bless the bereaved families with strength and courage to bear this immense loss! Incidence such as these have happened in recent past but nobody took notice to standardise the quality of the CNG Cylinders and why they should ? There is no worth of a human life in Pakistan , its the cheapest commodity!!

Our successive governments have failed to tackle this simple problem because of widespread corruption in our society especially in our traffic and motor vehicle fitness departments loss of such a large number of students is a national disaster but we as a "nation" sorry a group of people are mere concerned about such incidents otherwise culprits of these crimes would have been hanged publicly.

Gujrat is bot far from Lahore..!!! Mr.Nawaz Shariff where are you?? I have not seen any article or
statement from you, or your brother Mr.Shabaz shariff. I hope you know about 14 student and also ine teacher BURN TO DEATH ..I think it;s very important matter, and in my opinion GOVERNMENT
should get involve and get to the bottom of it, and come up with solution so it will never happen again in future.
Sincerely,
Ash Mirza (USA)
