LAHORE - Three men were killed and two others wounded critically when the roof of an under-construction apartment collapsed on them near Cosmopolitan Club inside the Bagh-e-Jinnah on Friday evening, rescue workers said. As the debris was removed, all five were found but two of them died. However, two injured men were shifted to a hospital where their condition was said to be stable. The rescue team explained that the rundown building was under construction when the roof "lenter" broke away, bringing the entire ceiling down on the five labourers sitting under. Rescuer workers pulled out the bodies from the rubble and shifted to morgue. One victim was identified as Liaqat, 38. While the wounded were shifted to a nearby hospital, none of the five, including the deceased, have been identified yet.
