A resident of Mughalpura, Saleem was shifted to the hospital immediately after the incident. The doctors said he was in critical condition.
Chairmain PBTE Dr Shafiq said that fire had burnt 50% of Saleem’s body.

1) 80% burns 2) He wasn't poor, he lent money to someone who decided not to pay him back and told him he could do what he liked, he could set himself on fire which, in a fit of rage, he actually did. PBTE should not be scolded over the salary of their drivers, he didn't live in poverty, he was made poor by lending money to a "friend" who promised to pay him back before Eid and on the day of Hajj, told him there will never be a repayment. Don't trust anyone with your money. 3) He had 3 kids not 2 4) He has now passed away.
Humans, especially living in poverty have multiplied the population like the rabbits. It is high time that clergy educate the people and distribute condoms! This is one very effective way to make people aware of their responsibilities.
Why would they even marry and have cultures if they can't afford. Why doubt they take time, settle themselves to the point of affordabilityand then have kids. Their ill decisions are leaving very negative impacts on their families, society and nation as a whole. Govt should give new movie Bol and Protection to every newly wed couple.
Will you guys put a hose outside the building with a guy stationed at it already? You can call him a civilian fireman.
