A sad news has been received that the roof of a tuition center in the “Kahna” area of Lahore has collapsed. 14 children were killed and many were injured due to the roof collapse.
It was June 30th. The children had gone to tuition on a scorching hot day. Who knew that they were leaving to never return home?
The accident occurred at an evening tuition center operating from an under-construction building in Kahna. The ceiling of the room, which was made of T-R girders, suddenly gave way when about 30 students were present in the class.
The roof collapsed and the teacher and children in the room were badly injured. 1122 and Edhi Foundation reached on time and the injured were taken to hospitals.
Lahore police arrested two individuals, including the contractor responsible for recent construction on the building and the house owner.
