Social media reacts to fake bomb rumours in Lahore |
2017-02-24 |
[DAWN] Twitter users expressed disappointment shortly after rumours of a second kaboom in Lahore made the rounds on media outlets, creating an atmosphere of fear and panic on Thursday. With chaos already at its peak due the first kaboom in Lahore's DHA Block Y, reports of a second blast in the Gulberg area, nearly an hour after the first kaboom, made rounds on all major media outlets. The 'news' was taken off air soon after the Law Minister Rana Sanaullah put the rumours to rest after denying knowledge of any kaboom in the Gulberg area and requested that panic should not be spread. |
