Four die in Charsadda roof collapse accident

 

At least four people were killed and six others sustained injuries as the roof of a house collapsed in the border area of Mardan and Charsadda on Monday.

According to details, the roof caved in due to heavy rainfall in Bako area of Parhoti and the house was dilapidated too. The mishap took lives of as many as four people including two children, Yaseen and Talha, a 50-year-old man named Lal Faroosh and a woman and left six injured.

Rescue teams reached the spot and shifted the injured to District Headquarters Hospital for medical assistance.

The death toll from torrential rain that has lashed Pakistan for the past few days has risen to 90, authorities said, with collapsed roofs blamed most for the fatalities.

Poorly-built homes, particularly in rural areas, are most susceptible to collapse during heavy spring rains.
