A roof collapse occurred at a tutoring centre under construction in Lahore, Pakistan, resulting in fatalities and injuries among schoolchildren. The incident is attributed to poor construction quality.
A roof collapse at a tutoring centre under construction in Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore on Tuesday killed at least 14 schoolchildren, police and rescue officials said.
Eight other children were also injured and were being treated at a hospital, senior police official Faisal Kamran said, adding that the owner of the tutoring centre and another person have been arrested.
Kamran said rescuers were continuing to search through the rubble after receiving reports that more children could be trapped beneath the debris.
He said the tutoring centre was housed in an ageing building and that the roof of an unfinished second floor apparently collapsed because of poor-quality construction.
