The blast damaged the house to the level that the roof just caved in.
NOWSHERA (Dunya News) – Three people died while several others suffered injuries when a gas cylinder exploded at a house in Pabbi Tehsil’s Wapda Colony.
A spokesperson for the Rescue department said the cylinder exploded owing to gas leakage. A roof of one of the rooms caved in as a result of which three members of a family were buried alive.
On hearing the blast, some neighbours rushed to the site and called rescue teams who pulled the dead bodies out of the rubble and shifted the injured to a nearby hospital for treatment.
