In the Thikriwala neighborhood of Faisalabad, a man and his spouse perished on Thursday when their home’s roof fell.
Police said the roof of Shah Ali’s house collapsed as workers were fixing it, burying the couple beneath the rubble. Shah Ali passed away immediately, according to the rescue squad, while Kausar, his wife, was seriously hurt and sent to the hospital, where she too passed away.
The remains were taken from the debris by rescue crews and sent to a local hospital. According to locals, the roof was being fixed since it was in poor shape. Police were recording witness accounts, according to Thikriwala SHO.
