BAHAWALPUR: Panic spread among the staff and students of the Government Girls High School, Noorpur Nauranga, when a piece of cloth inscribed with threatening words was found on the school premises.
The Musaffar Khana police registered a report on information of the principal. Reportedly, a student of the school found a piece of cloth that contained a threat of attack on the school on February 4, 5 or 6. The student gave the cloth to Principal Shabnum Mubarak, who immediately informed the police.
The locals and students were panicked when a TV channel also aired the news about the piece of cloth, saying that three coffins carrying a message of terror attack were found.
