The Quetta gas leak has raised safety concerns among locals, as such accidents can quickly turn deadly. Officials are urging residents to remain cautious and report any unusual gas odors immediately.
This incident comes amid a series of tragic accidents across the country. Recently, in Karachi, a speeding trailer crushed a motorcycle-riding family near Keamari Gate No. 17. The accident killed a husband, wife, and their two-year-old child. Rescue officials said the trailer driver fled the scene, and the victims’ bodies were moved to a hospital for legal formalities. Police and traffic authorities are actively searching for the absconding driver.
Earlier this month, in Jamrud town of Khyber district, four people, including a groom, died in a head-on collision between a car and a truck. The accident occurred as the groom was returning from a salon after wedding preparations. Rescue teams rushed the deceased and injured to a hospital, turning a day of celebration into mourning.
