An explosion of an Oil Tanker in Pakistan's Punjab Province on Sunday led to a bigger disaster than any terror attack. At least 151 people were charred to death and over 140 others suffered serious burn injuries in this massive explosion.
Reportedly, An Oil Tanker coming to Lahore from Karachi overturned on a highway in Ahmedpur Sharqia area of Bahawalpur district on Sunday morning. Locals gathered at the spot in large numbers to collect the 50,000 litres of petrol that's been spilled out. A cigar lit by a person at that time led to the explosion and people were charred to death. Several cars and bikes in burnt condition can be found at the spot.
District Coordination Officer of Bahwalpur Rana Salim Afzal termed the accident as the biggest tragedy in the history of Pakistan. He said most of the injured have been in critical condition and arrangements have been done to shift around 50 of them to better hospitals.
