LARKANA: Two labourers working at a bakery on Bakrani Road were buried alive when the structure caved in here on Wednesday.

The ill-fated workers hailing from Muzaffargarh were identified as Rajib Ali and Mehboob Ali.

Rescue workers, Edhi ambulances, Larkana Municipal Corporation Mayor Moh­a­mmed Aslam Shaikh, Deputy Commissioner Kashif Tepu and others rushed to the spot and supervised the rescue work.

The bodies, after an autopsy, were handed over to their relatives, but the Dari police station, in whose remit the incident had taken place, did not register FIR till filing of this report.

The deputy commissioner had taken in custody the record of the building while personnel of the Sindh Building Control Authority were asked to ensure issuance of authenticated permissions for new constructions.
