Five workers have been confirmed dead after yet another fatal fire ripped through a ship at Pakistan’s ship dismantling centre of Gadani. The fire yesterday happened on the same LPG carrier which caught fire after an explosion last month.
Police have arrested Rizwan Diwan Farooqi, chairman of the Pakistan Ship-Breaking Association and the owner of the yard where the accident happened.
The latest incident is the third in under three months at the yard, the most serious of which occurred in November when a fire broke out on an FSO at Gadani raging for four days and killing a confirmed 26 people with more still unaccounted for.
