Six of a family suffer burns in ‘AC explosion’
Karachi
April 10, 2021
A woman and her four children were among six people who suffered serious burns in an explosion at their house on Friday.
According to the Soldier Bazaar police, the explosion was so loud that it created panic in the area. Volunteers from welfare organisations reached the property and transported the injured to the burns ward of the Civil Hospital, where doctors termed their condition critical.
The children were identified as 22-year-old Shayan, seven-year-old Rabia, six-year-old Aman, and three-year-old Farwa, while their mother and aunt as Nilofer, 40, and Ana, 40. A heavy contingent of law enforcers also reached the property and inquired about the explosion. Experts from the bomb disposal squad, during their initial findings, ruled out the possibility of explosive material or terror activity behind the blast, and suggested that it apparently took place in an air conditioner installed in the kitchen.

The city witnessed its first full-fledge live concert on Saturday since the pandemic erupted
KARACHI:
Karachi was set for two very different concerts on Saturday night but only one of them went through. Atif Aslam’s much-awaited concert at Benazir Bhutto Park was cancelled after organisers ‘failed to obtain required permissions,’ confirmed a post on Aslam’s official Facebook page. This is the story of the concert that went through.
Upcoming acts Karakoram, Kashmir along with Battle of the Bands participant Neon ended Karachi’s Covid-streak of no concerts at District 19 in Korangi Industrial Area. The backstage seemed like an alumni dinner of sorts; even those who weren’t performing, such as Asim Azhar, Tamasha, and Auj, showed up to mark their existence and show gratitude for a live gig that eventually went forward uninterrupted.
