PESHAWAR: The provincial assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has unanimously adopted a resolution, calling for the federal government to declare December 16 terrorist attack on Army Public School as Black Day.

At least 150 people, mostly schoolchildren, were killed when Taliban gunmen stormed Army Public School in Peshawar on Dec 16, 2014.

The attack prompted Pakistan to devise a national plan to stamp out terrorism from the country once and for all.

In its resolution, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly demanded that December 16 be declared as Youm-e-Shuhada-e-APS.

The resolution was presented by Anma Sardar of PML-N and was adopted by the house unanimously.

Hello! My name is Farhan Abro, and I'm based here in Islamabad. My journey in Pakistan's digital media really kicked off when I founded INCPak back in 2012. We built it from the ground up, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, to be a trusted voice for independent journalism. But while media is a big part of who I am, I'm also shaped by a fascinating mix of other passions. I'm deeply into automotive, which gives me a technical edge, but I also find my artistic expression through landscape photography and music. And I'm always diving into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence. Bringing all these different worlds together the technical, the creative, the journalistic, and the entrepreneurial—it really colors how I see things and approach every project. It gives me a distinct perspective that I try to bring to everything I share
