Seven people, including five children, lost their lives when the roof of a house collapsed in the Sukheke area of Hafizabad on Thursday. Three others were rescued in critical condition and shifted to a hospital.
According to details, the tragic incident took place in Mohallah Farooq-e-Azam, where Muhammad Imran, son of Farhat Abbas, had set up a private tuition academy in his house.
On the day of the incident, children were attending their tuition classes when the roof, reportedly in a dilapidated condition, suddenly caved in, burying everyone under the debris.
