July 21, 2025

Three people, including a child, were injured as the roof of a house collapsed on Bosan Road, near Nihalewala.  According to Rescue 1122, the incident occurred during plastering work when excessive water use weakened the structure, causing the roof — made of cement slab and girders — to give way under its own weight. 

The victims, identified as 26-year-old Muhammad Irfan, 45-year-old Abdul Aziz, and 8-year-old Muhammad Shoaib, were trapped under the debris. Rescue teams quickly reached the site, provided the first aid, and shifted all three to Nishtar Hospital for further treatment. Rescue officials cited poor construction quality and water damage as the Primary reasons for the collapse.
