LPG tanker exploded violently in ware house, five killed

At least six people were killed in Quetta on Monday after a liquified petroleum gas tanker exploded inside a warehouse due to lack of safety measures and negligence of security staff, said Edhi sources.
Rescue officials faced difficulty due to darkness and a buildup of hazardous gas, said police and Edhi officials.
The bodies were shifted to BMC hospital in the provincial capital, however, rescue officials said that they fear “two more people are dead and inside the warehouse.”
Rescue teams also recovered betel nuts from the site. Further investigation of the warehouse and its owner is being carried out.
“The identity of the deceased, said to be between 30-40 years, could not be ascertained,” shared the police.
Further rescue attempts have come to a halt and will reportedly resume on Tuesday
Due to lax safety and maintenance standards, industrial accidents are common in Pakistan, more so in the less developed areas of the country.
