Alhamdolillah no loss of life atleast. Those who are harming humanity senselessly shodu stop path of violence as violence is not the solution to any conflict rather fuels the conflict that leads to more loss of life and property. Forces of hate will be defeated with forces of love, forces of destruction will be defeated by forces of construction and we should be only part of love and constructive behaviour that is the only option humanity has got in the long run! and sooner we understand the less pain we will inflict on others and on to ourselves!
