So many children burnt Live in a school van!
(Abida Rahmani, islamabad)
Almost every day we suffer
horrific tragedy after tragedy , mishap after mishap, mismanagement after
mismanagement in our this beloved country. We never get a follow up for the
responsible persons , who are apprehended and punished according to law. Here
where the human life is just compensated soon after with a few laks of Rupees or
announced by the government , just to wipe the tears of those who are at a total
and tremendous loss . 16children along with a teacher , Eleven of them belonged
to the same family are burnt alive. How vast and unmeasurable devastation is
that for the family members, who almost lost all of their kids. There is a vast
difference between accidents and negligence. We have no rules , regulations, no
safety measures for the maintenance of vehicles , buildings ,factories ,
malls etc. if we count these fire incidents and the casualties during the past
few months and in recent days, it has surpassed hundreds of casualties. Just a
few days back 22 people were burnt alive in LDA plaza Lahore . There were no
quick fire rescue measures and no safety measures to save those lives. So many
were killed by jumping from the windows. Same thing happened few months back in
Karachi's factory and a high rise building fire. Hundreds of people was just
burnt down to ashes.Many by falling from windows. The cameramen were busy doing
their job. At least there should be some safety measures on the ground to rescue
the jumping people.
About this van ,we know how the gasoline fire erupts in seconds. The driver and
owner of the van should be dealt harshly. How possibly could we imagine the
young kids burnt down to death. I am at utter loss of the words for this
carnage.
We follow all the phony and show off stuff of the developed countries . Why not
we try to Learn from them how to save lives during fire ,accidents and
calamities!
