These are the destroyed vehicles during attacks which are still left at palace’s ground as it is.

Locals say that during attacks civilians homes were also attacked. Though no civilians died but the wounds remained as psychological/mental trauma. One of the students of Tansen Nursing School told me that after attack many people came to them seeking psychological help. In her experience, mental trauma is more dangerous than physical.
