A devastating incident occurred in Dhirkot, Attock, on Thursday, when a school van came under attack by unidentified assailants. The tragic incident resulted in the loss of two young lives and left five others injured. The children, aged between 10 and 12, were on their way to school when the attack took place.
The police have launched a search operation to apprehend the culprits and have cordoned off the area. Initial investigation revealed that the attack occurred due to an old enmity of the school van driver, who was also shot at in the firing. He is currently receiving treatment at a hospital.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has taken notice of the incident and demanded a detailed report from the commissioner of Rawalpindi. She expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the two lives and directed health officials to provide the best possible care to the injured children.
This incident is a stark reminder of the need for increased security measures to protect our children. The attack on a school van is a heinous crime that has shaken the community. The authorities must take immediate action to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future.
The government must also take steps to address the root causes of such violence and work towards creating a safer environment for our children. The loss of two young lives is a tragedy that could have been avoided if proper security measures were in place.
