Soon after the incident, social media erupted in anger, with some of them blaming local administration for negligence and substandard work, while many other blaming ‘extra-ordinary’ work pressure to meet the completion deadline of March 23, reportedly set by Commissioner Islamabad who wanted PM Shehbaz Sharif to inaugurate it.
However, MM News has got CCTV footage of the incident that took place at Bhara Kahu, which clearly shows that the shuttering was hit by a heavy vehicle as a result of which it came down instantly, resulting in the casualties.
