Gadani ship-breaking yard explosion

What a sad state of affair… a decommissioned oli tanker caught fire… Gadani is bleeding… our anchor person are busy in dharna politics…

**QUETTA: **
Firefighters were battling on Wednesday to douse a fire still raging more than a day after a series of explosions on a decommissioned oil tanker, with the death toll rising to 17, and more than 20 workers missing, officials said. Tuesday’s initial blast occurred as workers were welding near a fuel tank in a shipbreaking yard in Gadani, 45km northwest from Karachi, said Zulfiqar Bokhari, a local administration official.

“The fire is still burning,” said Bokhari, adding that civilian and military firefighters were struggling to put out the flames, which had been ignited by two blasts in quick succession and followed by eight more explosions.
At least 58 people were injured in the blasts, and between 20 and 25 people were still missing, he added. Labourers in Gaddani often work in poor conditions without basic protective gear. The Gaddani ship-breaking industry, which has fallen on hard times recently, employs about 9,000 workers, far fewer than during its boom years at the end of the last decade.

Hawaldar medi ko ager dharny say fursat mil jye to gadani kay sahilon par aur Landhi main train collision par bhi baat hojaye…

This was very sad and actual death toll could be very high as many more are missing
It was more sad that no facilitation was given for sending dead bodies to their home towns
