It is pertinent to mention here that the 4th anniversary of the callous terrorist attack on the Army Public School Peshawar that left around 150 people, including children and teachers, dead is being observed today.
On Dec 16, 2014 six terrorists stormed the school and martyred around 150 students and teachers.
After this tragic incident, the government chalked out the National Action Plan (NAP) to eliminate terrorism from the country.
