On Sunday, a wall collapsed during a ceremony marking the inauguration of a road upgrade project in Peshawar, resulting in injury to a police officer. The officer had been deployed for security at the event, attended by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. According to officials, the wall fell due to the presence of the crowd.
The injured officer was taken to a hospital for treatment. Following the incident, the chief minister departed from the venue after delivering his speech at the inauguration ceremony. He also attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Pishtakhara Chowk Underpass as part of the Rs200 billion Peshawar Revitalisation Plan. The incident has raised concerns over safety standards and construction materials in Pakistan, where frequent reports of roof and wall collapses have been made.
Last month, a woman died in Peshawar's Naguman area when a roof collapsed during heavy rainfall. In July, strong winds and rain caused at least eight injuries in similar incidents.
