Karachi: A tragic road accident occurred near Maskan Chowrangi in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal area on Tuesday, when an over-speeding Toyota Fortuner lost control, broke through the green belt, and rammed into two pedestrians sitting on the opposite side of the road.

According to media reports, the SUV was heading from Disco Bakery towards Maskan Chowrangi at high speed when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The Fortuner veered off its lane, crashed through the green belt, and struck two individuals sitting on the roadside. One of them, identified as 42-year-old Saleem, died on the spot due to severe head and rib injuries, while the other victim, Zeeshan, sustained serious injuries and was immediately rushed to the hospital.

Dog-culling campaign starts in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Karachi

The district municipal corporations (DMC) on Wednesday initiated a dog culling campaign in several parts of the port city. Initiated in Pehlwan Goth and Gulshan-e-Iqbal areas, the campaign was expanded to other localities such as Gulistan-e-Johar, Lines Area and Khudadad Colony where scores of canines were killed by administering poison. Local authorities said that they were ‘compelled’ to start the campaign in the wake of rabies-related deaths and increasing complaints of dog-bites. The unchecked increase in the number of stray dogs and the shortage of anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) led to a rise in the number of deaths caused by the virus.
