LAHORE: August 6 and 9 marked the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This event establishes itself as a reminder of a time when human knowledge led to the elimination of countless lives.

It acts as a symbol to understand the enormous devastation that nuclear weapons are capable of causing.
