According to Express News correspondent Nasheed Anjum, media personnel were standing on the shed covering the event as no other place had been allocated to them at the rally. The shed fell as PTI President Javed Hashmi was addressing the rally.
Around 10 people, standing on the shed, sustained minor injuries. There was no one present under the shed, however, a car could be seen trapped underneath.
The shed was around 15 feet high.
The rally continued despite the incident.
PTI’s ongoing election campaign includes rallies in more than 200 sub districts, towns and rural areas in 16 South Punjab districts.

Wish you these guys get well soon! These poor guys were there in hope to listen better people.
People brought this Govt to resolve their problem. Instead they are problems crater. They have no right to rule. They should resign and go back homes.
Even the poor steel shed could not bear the weight of Soonami lies :D
@Kamran Naqvi: Then by the same logic... If the ruling parties can't do anything to stop the killings, mismanagement, corruption, loadshedding, (you name it) then they have no moral values and only fools would expect a different result if they're voted back in power.
Very sad to hear news about injured PTI supporters. Wish them full and fast recovery.
@ All If a party cannot manage its own stage then we should not expect it to manage the country. It will let the economy fall in the same way. Who cares about the poor??
@Hasnain: it’s funny how people are injured - and you blame it on PTI rather than wish for their well being...
I suppose if someone tripped or slipped at the event it would be PTI's fault??
@Saleem: Keep dreaming my friend!
I wish them a speedy recovery, (this coming from a PMLN supporter)
@Hasnain: No-this shows the excitment the public are feeeling for IK!! God saved them from any major disaster (even he is on their side) & nothing like free a meal-especially cooked pulau & chicken-even I would be attacking the party!
This is yet another example of mismanagement in PTI jalsas after stealing of chairs and hoo-haa on free meals.
