Three children suffocated to death and three others fell seriously sick when poisonous gas accumulated in their room in the vicinity of Bari Imam’s shrine on Thursday. Police said the wife of Zahoor Hassan, a resident of Aarah Mohallah, went to sleep along with her seven children with coals burning in a pot to keep the room warm. The carbon monoxide gas emitting from the coals killed three children and put others in a serious condition who were taken to the Federal Government Services Hospital. The deceased children have been identified as Hassan Abbas 3, Mishal Shahzadi 5, Kanwal Shahzadi, 2.5 years. Doctors said that Iqra, 4, Malika, 7, and Minal, 6, are in critical condition at the hospital.
