Peshawar (Khyber Mail): A massive fire erupted on Saturday at a tissues factory in Hayatabad Industrial Estate, resulting in eight fatalities among laborers and leaving ten rescue workers unconscious.
Over 30 fire tenders, including support from the Pakistan Air Force and neighboring cities, are battling the blaze, complicated by hazardous chemicals and the building’s partial collapse.
