Birds' nests were destroyed and many trees caught fire due to teargas shelling and vandalism at Zaman Park. As the effects of teargas shelling are still being felt, passersby and workers are having blurred vision and difficulty in breathing.
The effects of the teargas shelling around Zaman Park can be felt even after two days. The birds also faced severe hardship due to the smoke from shelling. Due to teargas shelling and trees catching fire, nests were damaged while many birds have left their nests.
Passersby and PTI workers are still complaining of the effects of teargas. Due to shelling and fire incidents, atmosphere was polluted and trees were damaged.
Due to shelling on the Canal Road, teargas particles are still present in the air, causing people to suffer from eye irritation and throat ailments.
