Aerial firing

Published October 24, 2014

WITH a booming wedding season, the capital resonates at odd hours with aerial firing by jubilant youths.

This practice poses a big threat to the lives of citizens, and is a great nuisance to patients, old people and kids. Moreover, this practice also poses a threat to the volatile law and order situation.

The Islamabad capital police and the authorities concerned are requested to take stern action against the people involved in this practice.
