| Inshallah engineering at its best. [GEO.TV] At least 11 people bit the dust — four women, six men, and a seven-year-old boy — and eight were rescued on Friday after a five-storey residential building collapsed in the Baghdadi area of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Lyari. Rescue operations remain ongoing, with authorities estimating that up to 25 people may still be trapped under the rubble. Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab confirmed the fatalities to Geo News and said the building — constructed in 1974 — had been previously declared dangerous. ''There are more than 400 buildings that have been declared dangerous. We have two options: either persuade people to leave or evict them forcefully," the city's mayor said. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... every government tries to persuade people rather than using force. Today's unfortunate event is proof that when the government tells you something, listen,'' he said. |
