SWAT: Score of protesters on Tuesday demanded the authorities to arrest the culprits involved in the recent attack on a school van in Swat’s Charbagh tehsil and the restoration of peace in the region. The protesters warned of marching to Islamabad if authorities failed to meet their demands.
The attack on Monday, which left the van driver dead and two students injured, was the latest in a series of incidents of violence that have gripped the valley in recent days, prompting citizens to take to the streets against the rising tide of insurgency.
A protest sit-in was staged on the main Kalam-Swat road, with protesters refusing to bury the school van’s driver until their demands were met. The protesters said that the district administration held talks with them but no conclusion was reached.
