Schools around Pakistan have raised their boundary walls, added armed guards and installed metal detectors following terrorist attack on Army Public School in Peshawar in December, 2014 in which more than 150 people, most of them students, were killed.
Since then, the government has stepped up military operations in the tribal areas, reinstated the death penalty and allowed military courts to try civilians — all attempts to crack down on terrorism.
So far, 48 convicts have been executed across the country since lifting of the moratorium on death penalty.
