KOHAT: A house was razed to the ground and an elderly woman received serious burn injuries in a gas leak blast in Hayat Shaheed Colony here in the wee hours of Saturday.
House owner Hassan Khan told reporters that SNGPL was to be blamed for the incident as gas supply was turned on and off without any schedule. He said it was the third incident in his locality.
He said the blast occurred when a family member awoke at 3am and tried to light up a gas heater. He added that children remained unscathed as they were asleep in another room.
