Summary
A horrific building collapse in Lahore, Pakistan, killed at least fourteen children and injured eight others at an unfinished tutoring center, sparking national outrage and calls for urgent safety reforms. The roof of the second floor, built with substandard materials in an aging structure, gave way, trapping students beneath debris. Authorities have arrested the center’s owner and another suspect, while rescue teams continue searching for survivors. President Asif Ali Zardari condemned the tragedy, extended condolences to families, and stressed the need for stricter enforcement of construction safety laws — a plea echoing a nationwide crisis where lax building codes and ignored regulations repeatedly endanger lives.
