    I was very far away from the city at that time. The death toll has reached to 110. We also buried one of our neighbour on Friday who had come from Karachi after serving for eight months there. He was 20 and was near to marry. His sisters and parents were in great schock.The late Yd Wali had gone to Meena Bazaar the other day where he was killed in the car bomb blast.
