  "account": "Karachi witnessed a tragic incident on Thursday when the roof of a corner shop collapsed near the New Nazimabad Flyover, resulting in at least one fatality, according to rescue services. Chief Operating Officer of Rescue 1122, Dr Abid Shaikh, reported that the mishap occurred during ongoing construction work at the shop. Three victims were successfully recovered from the debris and transported to the hospital, but authorities fear more individuals may be trapped under the rubble. The deceased, a 43-year-old man, was promptly shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, as per Edhi. Search and rescue operations are actively underway to locate and rescue any remaining victims, as confirmed by Shaikh. Edhi ambulances and volunteers were on-site providing assistance. The Sindh Chief Minister, Murad Ali Shah, took notice of the incident and ordered swift rescue operations to clear the debris. He emphasized the provision of the best medical treatment to the injured. Additionally, Shah has sought a report from the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) to ascertain the cause of the accident and investigate potential negligence. This incident echoes previous tragic events, such as the collapse of a building's roof in Multan's Northern Bypass, which claimed one life and injured seven others on October 27. Similarly, a school roof collapse in Peshawar's Afridi Abad area on October 15 resulted in the deaths of 31 people, including 30 students and a female teacher. On October 9, a wall of a local Union Council office in Karachi's Malir collapsed, leading to the deaths of three individuals.",
