Urgent condition recovery effort underway after roof collapse traps at least eight children in Lahore
At least 14 children were killed and eight were injured after the roof of a house collapsed in Lahore's Kahna area on Tuesday, according to the police.
Lahore Deputy Inspector Senior commander (DIG) Operations Faisal Kamran verified the toll while addressing the press on the occasion. "Eight children and one teacher are hospitalised, who are injured. Apart from that, the death of 14 children is verified."
He stated it was a single-storey building with a small room at the top with a roof of TR girders. The DIG further stated that some work was underway on the roof and the number of labourers exceeded its strength, which caused a girder to break, triggering the collapse atop what he stated was a tuition centre.
"We have detained five individuals who were running the tuition centre and are interrogating them regarding in what capacity the centre was being run, why safety was not considered and other aspects."
The DIG stated the focus at this time was on the provision of medical relief to the injured, adding that an probe was underway. He stated the deceased children were locals of the area and assured the press of proceedings and action against those responsible.
A comment from the Edhi representative stated the roof of a room in a house near Qurban School on Ferozepur Road collapsed suddenly, burying several children under the debris.
