She was innocent

Sir: I feel ashamed to think that almost two weeks have passed since the violated body of young Zainab was discovered in a heap of trash in Kasur, and still our higher authorities have been unable to trace the culprits.

It seems like in this country, the authorities only take action when it is too late. It is high time that strict action was taken against these gruesome acts. Condemning such an atrocity when it has already happened is not enough. If the authorities cannot protect our children then they should resign.
