Tragically, six children and three women were unable to escape the fire, except for one survivor who jumped from the building.

Rescue officials have determined that the fire originated from an explosion in the compressor of the refrigerator. Insufficient ventilation aggravated the situation by trapping the smoke inside the house.

The victims who have been identified so far include Adil Hussain, Saira Bano, Farzana, Amber, Ghazal, Fatima, and a seven-month-old baby. Efforts are underway to identify the remaining victims.

Upon receiving a distressing call at 2:45 am, Adil’s father rushed to the scene and witnessed the devastating aftermath. He tragically lost his son, wife, daughter-in-law, her two children, his elder daughter, and her four children in the fire.

The police have announced that the bodies will be released to the families once the identification process and legal formalities are completed. Meanwhile, rescue teams are working diligently to cool down the remnants of the destroyed structure.

In response to the incident, Mohsin Naqvi, the interim Chief Minister of Punjab, has taken notice and requested a report from the commissioner. He has initiated an investigation and offered his heartfelt condolences to the grieving family.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
