KARACHI: At least 11 people died and several were injured Friday amid a stampede at a factory at the Naurus intersection in Karachi’s SITE area, the latest incident in which people lost their lives to seek free edibles.
The incident occurred while people were gathered at a dyeing factory in the city’s industrial area to collect ration — which is part of charity drives that Karachhites hold every Ramadan to help the needy.
Those killed in the incident include eight women and three children, rescue sources and police officials said.
