HARIPUR: A worker was burnt to death and another received injuries when part of a textile industry caught fire in Hattar Industrial Estate, police said here on Saturday.
The fire tenders managed to put out the inferno after an effort of four hours, police and eyewitnesses said, adding the preliminary investigation suggested the fire was caused by electricity short-circuiting.
The Hattar police quoted factory workers as saying the fire broke out in the blow room during the early hours which engulfed the entire unit, injuring two workers busy in the production process.
The injured were removed to the Haripur Trauma Centre, but the doctors there pronounced Gul Shireen as brought dead. Shehzad was referred to the Holy Family Hospital Islamabad with over 40 per cent burns.
