A woman and her two children got buried under the debris and were injured in the incident. All the injured were admitted to a hospital where the condition of woman’s five-year-old son was stated to be critical.

According to the police, the incident took place around 7 am on Monday when Sekuni along with her seven-year-old daughter identified as Sana and five-year-old son identified as Abuzar were sleeping in a room on the upper floor of their house in Bibipur village.

After getting information, nearby villagers and the police reached the spot. After a lot of efforts, they managed to take out the three injured who were buried underneath debris.
