A small girl was fatally injured while five others suffered serious injuries when the roof of a weak structure caved in due to the heavy rains in the Bari Imam area.
According to a rescue source, Ruma, 5, and five other people were trapped under the rubble after a house collapsed between Sunday and Monday night.
Locals retrieved the trapped people from under the debris and rushed them to polyclinic, where doctors declared Ruma dead on arrival and admitted the other injured for treatment.
Hospital sources said that the injured were out of danger.
The body of the child was handed over to the family after medico-legal formalities.
The deceased’s father said that they were residents of Rawalpindi and his daughter had been living with her grandmother for the last 15 days.
