Two labourers lost their lives while three others suffered injuries when the pillar of an under-construction flyover in the Bhara Kahu area collapsed. A total of six labourers were working on the pillar when it collapsed, burying them under the rubble. The Islamabad police said on its official Twitter handle that three workers who were pulled out of the rubble had been shifted to the Islamabad Polyclinic Hospital. On the other hand, Islamabad chief commissioner formed an eight-member inquiry committee comprising Islamabad DC Memon, Islamabad Traffic SSP Tanweer, CDA Engineering member, and Nespak representative to conduct an investigation into the incident. The inquiry team will also comprise one representative each from the Islamabad and Rawalpindi rescue teams.
