IT is so shocking that a taxi driver shot dead a nurse for opting to travel by rickshaw instead of his taxi outside District Headquarters Hospital, Bannu.
The taxi driver argued with the rickshaw driver, heated words were exchanged and the taxi driver fired three bullets, killing the nurse on the spot.
Carrying passengers is a social service.
People serving in this sector are expected to be polite and tolerant. But we lack basic civic sense and treat humans like cattle.
Killing human beings is not a norm in civilised societies.
It is suggested that before the government issues a driver`s licence to public transport drivers, it should test the applicant`s mental health to ensure he will not prove harmful for passengers. The taxi driver is at large. Exemplary punishment must be given to him to check such instances in future.
