Heartbreaking news emerged from Lahore on Tuesday after the roof of a tuition centre collapsed while classes were underway, killing 14 children. Twenty people were trapped under the collapsed roof, according to the Punjab health minister, and a number of victims were dug out of the rubble and taken to hospitals — some in critical condition.
The tuition centre was being run in a house in the suburb of Kahna. Construction work was being done on the house when the roof caved in.
Naturally, this inspired an outpouring of grief, with users on X praying for the lost souls and sending messages of strength to their grieving parents.
More than just grief, there was anger at the conditions and negligence that had made this incident possible.
Netizens called for accountability, demanding that those responsible for this incident be punished.
