The green belts and footpaths of the main parts of the federal capital have been severely damaged by the heavy containers and aggressive protesters on the occasion of “Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool (P.B.U.H)” on Friday. The Islamabad police had placed containers on the roads, footpaths and green belts to stop the raging protestors from entering the Diplomatic Enclave, and as a result damaged the grass and plants in the green belts and also damaged the flooring of the footpaths. Moreover, trees and signboards were also damaged by the tear-gas shells fired by the police to disperse the demonstrators.
Besides, in the protests against the American blasphemous film, the protesters broke off tree branches to make clubs and damaged the flora of the city as a result of their actions. Angry demonstrators smashed the neon signs installed on roadsides, threw stones, burned down flags and police posts and created a mess on the city roads, besides polluting the atmosphere.
