Karachi: At least 12 people died and five others were hurt during a stampede that took place inside the premises of a factory at the Naurus intersection in Karachi's SITE area in Pakistan, media reports said.
This is the latest incident in which people lost their lives while trying to get freebies.
The incident occurred while people were gathered at a dyeing factory in the city's industrial area to collect ration — which is part of charity drives that Karachiites hold every Ramadan to help the needy, reports Geo News.
Those killed in the incident include eight women and three children, rescue sources and police officials told the news channel.
Six people also fainted during the stampede, rescue sources told Geo News.
According to reports, the deceased were taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and two were moved to the Civil Hospital.
