LAHORE: A man died as a three-storey house collapsed at Bhatti Gate on Monday.

Identified as Imran Ali, the man was buried under the debris when the building caved in, a police official said. Rescue 1122 teams rescued him and they were shifting him to hospital when he breathed his last.

A Rescue 1122 spokesperson said the old building was constructed on a two-marla land and the owner was renovating it when it collapsed.

The police official said Imran was trying to demolish a part of the building due to its dilapidated condition. It could not be established whether Imran was the owner of the house or a worker. — Staff Reporter
