*In remembrance of ARMY PUBLIC SCHOOL ATTACK - A DECADE LATER!*
*BLACK DAY*🪦
*10 YEARS PASSED* but it still feels as if it was yesterday! Today marks a decade since the horrific attack on Army Public School, Peshawar which claimed the lives of more than *144 innocent souls🪦👼, including more than 132 school children.*
*16 DECEMBER, 2014* worst day in the history of PAKISTAN, when *terrorists attacked ARMY PUBLIC SCHOOL, WARSAK RD, PESHAWAR CANTT*.🔫
A *decade* has passed but the pain of that day still echoes in our minds and hearts!💔
As an honourable *ex student/survivor* of APS, Warsak Rd, I feel privileged to share the story of one of the most tragic and horrifying event in the history of Pakistan. ❤🩹

As usual, we were having our english class when suddenly, we heard some gunshots.💥💣💥 Ignoring the sound, our teacher said, "Shayad koi Shaadi koi function waghera pr fireworks 🎇 ho rhy hy." It was for the first time, I came to know that Fireworks 🎆🎇 are also shot in weddings. We continued our lesson, on and off hearing the gunshots. All of a sudden, Ma'am Salma (Ma'am Kehkishan's sister, who taught the playground and prep classes) came, gasping and worried😟, to our class and whispered something in Ma'am Kehkishan's ear. This was the moment when terror😨 caught all the teachers. The teachers started consoling their students. Our Ma'am told us to sit under the desks.🪑 I sweeped into the cupboard of our classro
