According to Haroon Ahmed, one of the labourers, the contractor who employed them did not provide any safety kits. He stated that while off loading the bags, they experienced burning sensations in their bodies and their throats choked after which they fainted. SHO Munawar Ali Chandio informed that the factory in question is listed as a closed unit in the records but a private contractor was using the facility.
