KARACHI: At least 25 female workers of a garment factory fell unconscious and were taken to the Jinnah Hospital for treatment.
It was initially reported that the female employees fell unconscious after a taxi gas leak at the factory situation in the Landhi Export Processing Zone. The toxic gas claim was disputed by the factory’s workers and later by the media coordinator for the Export Processing Zone.
The media coordinator said a female factory worker saw a "ghost in the washroom," following which she screamed and panic ensued. The coordinator claimed that it was during this panic that the workers were injured.
There are approximately 4,000 workers employed at the factory. (GNN) (thenews) (Yoogle)
