At least 10 people have been killed after a factory collapsed in the industrial area of Lahore, in Pakistan’s east.
Muhammad Usman, a local administrator, said about 150 workers,
including the owner of the factory, were at the three-storey building at the time of collapse on Tuesday.
Rescue official Jam Sajjad Hussain said dozens of other labourers remain trapped under the rubble.
Hussain said emergency teams are using heavy machinery to remove the bodies and look for survivors.
State-run Pakistan Television said the 10 bodies were retrieved from the rubble.
The cause of the collapse was not clear, but it comes more than a week after a magnitude-7.5 earthquake hit Pakistan, killing 273 people and damaging nearly 75,000 homes across the country.
