As many as 14 people were injured including 12 children when a manhole blew up in a katchi abadi by the Sherpao Bridge on Tuesday.
According to locals, the blast occurred when someone threw a burning cigarette in the manhole which was filled up with gas from an underground leaking pipeline.
The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital by Rescue 1122. The doctors have stated the condition of two children to be critical.
