A national day of mourning was observed across the country Monday over the tragic deaths of Pakistani migrants aboard the rickety fishing boat that sank in the Mediterranean Sea off the Greek coast last week.
Expressing grief over the unfortunate incident of a boat capsising, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had announced a countrywide day of mourning Monday. In observance of the mourning day, the national flag flew at half-mast, and special prayers were offered for the deceased.
As the country mourns the unfortunate incident, netizens at home and abroad condemn the authorities in Greece for not responding promptly to the incident or making any effort to avoid such a tragedy.
