A recent horrific incident marred the lives of many innocent women and children, who were busy in their shopping at the Jhat Pat market at Lyari. The market is a very popular place among women for their shopping and unfortunately when about a dozen explosions took place at the market; it was these helpless women and children that became the victims.
According to reports, 17 year old Hira, 16 year old Asifa and 6 year old Maryam died on the spot as a result of the explosion. As the sobbing father told the reporters, his daughters had come to the market for wedding shopping.
The Lyari residents had not yet become used to the gun shots fired every now and then. Now they have to suffer the explosions as well. The residents claimed that there was no warning of any sort beforehand. The explosions came at quick successions which gave less time to the people to flee the scene.
The residents and shop owners were angry at the absence of the law enforcement agencies and demanded that the police should look into the matter and capture those responsible for this gruesome act.
