34 children, teacher killed in Pakistan school roof collapse

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

34 children and a teacher died when a school roof collapsed in Peshawar, Pakistan. The incident has prompted an investigation into the structural integrity of the building.

The collapse occurred at a three-storey school in Peshawar, with the roof of the higher floor collapsing onto the first floor. The owner of the school has been arrested over alleged negligence.

Authorities say the building was structurally weak, and the owner was charged with severe negligence. The provincial government has called for a comprehensive investigation into the collapse.

The incident follows a similar tragedy in Lahore last month, where a roof collapse at a tutoring centre killed four children.
