KARACHI: Two police officers were injured when the roof of a building housing an office of the Anti-Vehicles Lifting Cell (AVLC) collapsed on Monday.

They suffered injuries and were taken to the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) for treatment, where their condition was stated to be out of danger.
