Grief, anger as Peshawar buries its dead

PESHAWAR: Violent protests paralysed life in the provincial capital and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as death toll from the twin suicide bombings at a church rose to 83 on Monday.

Demonstrations, mourning processions and movement of VIPs forced vehicles to remain off the road in Peshawar.

Enraged activists of the Christian community pelted vehicles with stones, blocked roads and held rallies on thoroughfares to vent their anger over Sunday’s suicide attacks on the All Saints Church.



On the other hand, relatives and friends remained busy burying their near and dear ones in Gora Qabristan and Wazir Bagh graveyard.

Sensing gravity of the situation, police made adequate arrangements to avert any untoward incident and placed barbed wire on main roads in an attempt to confine the protesters to their localities. The measures disrupted traffic on Sher Shah Soori, GT and University roads.
