At least two died and six people were wounded on Monday after a residential building in Karachi’s Machhar Colony collapsed due to a gas cylinder explosion, Aaj News reported.
The wounded were shifted to a hospital while reportedly more people were stuck under the debris.
Rescue teams and police personnel reached the spot and a rescue operation is under way.
It is unfortunate that there is no regularization on gas shop in any area of Karachi densely populated areas. Even the area I live Defense View having top university in proximity and densely populated having multiple gas shop on the ground floor and above that there is residential complex. Please make at least some regulation for these shops in order to avoid future accidents in Karachi.
