A local NGO organised an awareness walk to eliminate aerial firing from the society during Eid-ul-Fitr here on Thursday. Ahsas Welfare Organisation (AWO) had organised the walk, which started from Jinnah Park and culminated at Peshawar Press Club.
District Nazim, Haji Ghulam Ali, SP Cantt Abdul Qadir, ASP Qaiser Khan and SHO Saleem Aman took part in the walk. The walk participants were holding banners and placards inscribed with different slogans against aerial firing and pictures highlighting the negative impacts of aerial firing on the society.
Addressing on the occasion, District Nazim Haji Ghulam Ali said that the aerial firing was very dangerous for human lives. He appealed to the people to avoid aerial firing on the occasion of any festival. "The people of the province should refrain from aerial firing so that they could enjoy Eid-ul-Fitr," he added. They said that killing innocent people with stray bullets was an inhuman act.
