Toxic gas kills two in Keamari
Two people were brought to Ziauddin Hospital, Keamari, on Wednesday in critical condition, complaining of breathing troubles.
They died during treatment soon after. The family members complained that the deceased had faced similar symptoms as had been reported earlier in February this year - itchy eyes, difficulty breathing and tightness in the chest. Back in February 2020, several lives were lost and dozens of others were affected following a toxic gas leakage in the Keamari area.
Earlier on December 18, 2020, another nine people were affected by a gas leakage in the same area. The Ziauddin hospital spokesperson also confirmed these casualties and the symptoms described by the family members of the deceased.
