THE unfortunate killing of the teenaged brothers in Sialkot is probably one of the most brutal faces of our society that we have ever seen.

To serve a long-lasting lesson and to pay tribute to the brothers, I have a small suggestion.

The town where the brothers were martyred and the chowk where they were hanged should be renamed Shaheed Mughees Town and Shaheed Muneeb Chowk, respectively.

This will keep their names alive and will remind the residents every day of the brutality the community has committed.
