All the workers suffocated to death in the fire that was apparently caused due to a short circuit.

According to officials and witnesses, the blaze erupted under the stairs of the ground-plus-two-storey factory,
#MehranTownFactory
situated in Mehran Town of Korangi Industrial Area, and spread rapidly to other places due to some "adhesive chemicals" kept there.

Initial investigation identified short circuit as the cause of fire, while a post-mortem examination revealed cardio-respiratory failure,
secondary to asphyxia, caused by inhalation of smoke and soot from the fire led to suffocation and subsequent death.

Five members of an extended family, including three brothers, were among the victims.
#MehranTownFactory
A senior officer who wished not to be named said the factory manufactured trolley bags and had stored adhesive chemicals.

When the fire broke out, it spread rapidly because of presence of chemicals and more deaths occurred.
#MehranTownFactory
The factory was located in a congested area and it was obvious that safety measures were not in place, the officer said.

Implementing the vision of Chairman @BBhuttoZardari, the Sindh govt launched the Poverty Alleviation Program 7-6 years ago today to make women financially self-sufficient. It then started from 2 districts & today it has spread to 13 districts of Sindh.

The PPP has always believed in serving the people. Whether it is the era of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto or the era of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. During these two periods, many projects were launched for the people.

I totally agree with you. Today has been a frustrating day for me. Those who want to keep women out of politics. Today's meeting has shown them a mirror. Women are no less than anyone. Women know how to compete, be it politics or sports.

We must support women. I congratulate the Sindh government and the PPP very much. The way they are bringing welfare programs that are helping women stand on their own two feet. She is supporting her family and children.
@BBhuttoZardari
#PPPEmpoweringWomen
She is running her own business with a low income. This is a very commendable step. This is the vision of our martyred Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. Which was later taken forward by our President Asif Ali Zardari.

Unless you get women on their feet. You cannot progress until then. Unless you empower women financially. We cannot develop or move forward as a nation. My martyred Quaid-e-Awam Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto also worked for the welfare of women.

#PPPEmpoweringWomen
After him, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto also fought for women's rights and tried to make women stand on their feet. She wanted Pakistani women to be strong. They are economically empowered.

I know how to make money so that they do not have to reach out to others. If she is financially strong, she will be able to support her family. They will also be able to raise their children well. Will be able to give them a better education.

Buzdar should resign over corruption and audit report of Rs 56 billion in Punjab.
The record of Rs 265 billion is missing, the eye-opening report is enough to open the eyes of the people.
CM will have to respond to recruitment without advertisement, when will NAB wake up?
The rulers who have increased the country's debt to Rs 39 billion are responsible for inflation.
Flour is expensive, bread is expensive, vegetables are expensive, lentils are expensive, people eat or die?
#HandsomeTabahiSarkar
The country will be devastated by the decline in remittances, non-tax revenues and foreign investment. The #PPP will conduct an actual audit of the captain and his tea.

پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی نے جب 2008 سے 2013 میں وفاقی حکومت میں تھی۔ اس وقت پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی نے دو تاریخ کے بدترین سیلاب کا مقابلہ کیا۔ پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی نے اس وقت جب پوری دنیا میں معاشی سختیاں تھی۔
اس کے باوجود انہوں نے پاکستان میں بے نظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام کا آغاز کیا تاکہ اس کا دباؤ پاکستان کے غریب عوام پر نہ پڑ سکے۔ پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی نے اس وقت پاک ایران گیس پائپ لائن کا افتتاح کیا جس کو بعد میں آنے والی حکومتیں پوری نہ کر سکیں۔
پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی نے سی پیک کا آغاز کیا۔ این ایف سی ایوارڈ کا آغاز کیا۔ آغاز حقوق بلوچستان پیکیج دیا۔ دونوں کو ان کی شناخت دی۔ سرحد کا نام بدل کر خیبرپختونخوا رکھا۔ اٹھارویں ترمیم کو دوبارہ سے امپلیمنٹ کیا۔
