Just a day before Eid, on chand Raat, tragedy struck our nation yet again. The unfortunate incident took place in Bahawalpur which killed more than 150 people when an oil tanker caught fire. The people had gathered to collect oil from the leaking tanker and according to witnesses, people smoking cigarettes in the vicinity is what ignited the inferno.
This heartbreaking incident left the whole nation in mourning and dampened the celebrations of Eid. Our stars of the Entertainment Industry expressed their sorrow and reacted to the incident in the following manner:
Its Very Painful Accident at #Bahawalpur 140 Innocent Peoples – RIP.
