Mosque minaret collapse kills woman

FAISALABAD:


A woman died and her daughter-in-law was injured on Sunday after a minaret of a mosque collapsed and fell on a house in Chak 54-JB, Dhudian, Nishatabad police said.


They said the 100-foot minaret, which was built a few years ago, collapsed during a windstorm in the city on Sunday morning.

Musarrat Bibi and her daughter-in-law Samina were buried under the debris of the roof of their house.

Rescue-1122 officials pulled the women out of the debris and took them to Allied Hospital where Musarrat succumbed to her injuries. Doctors later said Samina’s condition was stable.
