Pakistan building collapses, trapping many in Lahore

A factory building has collapsed in the Pakistani city of Lahore with many people, including women and children, feared trapped, officials say.

Officials said the blast at the three-storey building could have been caused by a gas explosion.

One official told Reuters news agency that both the building and two houses next to it had "completely collapsed".

Reports said two bodies have been recovered. Rescue workers were trying to help those inside.

Estimates of the number of people trapped range from 15 to about 60.

According to factory records, about 60 people were meant to be at work on Monday when the building collapsed. However, the blast occurred shortly after opening hours and correspondents say people may still have been arriving.

It is unclear how many children were in the building, but reports confirm some are still trapped in the debris.

According to Reuters, the authorities were having problems transporting heavy machinery to the area to clear the debris because of narrow streets in the residential area where the factory was located.

Rescue workers shifting rubble by hand said that they were looking for voids, where people may have been able to survive.

"My house is near the factory. I felt a strong jolt and my house shook. I thought it was a bombing," local resident Awais Raza told Reuters.

Witnesses said that the factory produced veterinary medicines and was in a residential area of Lahore.
