Islamabad fruit market opens



ISLAMABAD: Following Wednesday powerful blast killing 25 and several injured, the fruit market after one-day mourning opened on Friday here, Geo News reported.

Although the usual trading activities after a day break have started, yet the gloom over the fruit and vegetable market remained overcast as the labourers and traders were seen still under a shock remembering their lost buddies.

The federal government has announced a compensation of Rs5,00,000 to the heirs of each dead and Rs75,000 to each of the injured in the powerful blast that had occurred on Wednesday as a bomb planted in guava crate went off during auction of the fruits.

Outlawed Threek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) dissociating self condemned the killing of innocents, while United Balochistan Army have accepted the responsibility, however, the interior ministry has dismissed the claim and said it is linked to somewhere else.
