Kalaburagi: 17-year-old girl injured in wall collapse dies in Yadrami hospital
Kalaburagi: A 16-year-old girl Sania Tamboli died and four other children sustained serious injuries in an incident of wall collapse due to intense rainfall reported from Yadrami town on Monday.
The victim’s siblings Mehboob, Nishad, Ayesha and Ranjhanabi, who got caught under the debris, are injured but out of danger, according to the locals.
The wall reportedly collapsed at around 2:30 am on Monday, trapping the five children under the debris. Four of them were immediately brought out safely, but it took extra time to get Sania out. Eye-witnesses have said that, although Sania, who was grievously injured, was rushed to the Yadrami Taluk Hospital, none of the doctors there was available to treat the girl, which resulted in her death.
The locals have alleged that the girl lost her life due to lack of facilities, including emergency treatment, at the taluk hospital. They have demanded that the local legislator, and concerned district and taluk-level authorities not only offer condolence to the bereaved family but also give them Rs 25 lakh as ex gratia.
The people are staging a protest placing Sania’s body outside the taluk hospital and demanding justice for the girl’s family.

Lahore (PTI): Pakistan's Punjab Police on Friday registered a case against unidentified gunmen for opening fire on Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) co-founder Amir Hamza, who suffered bullet injuries in the attack in Lahore.
On Thursday, two unidentified gunmen riding on a bike opened fire on the vehicle of the private TV channel 24NewsHD TV, owned by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, on Peco Road in Lahore near the TV channel's office.
In the attack, Hamza suffered bullet injuries.
"The FIR has been registered against unidentified gunmen, but it is sealed forthwith," a senior police officer told PTI.
He said the intelligence agencies have taken over this case from the police, and they are currently investigating the matter.
The channel's religious programme host Justice (retd.) Nazir Ahmed Ghazi and Hamza were in the vehicle when it was attacked. Hamza was shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Punjab police on Friday said that "upon receiving information about the incident, the SSP Operations immediately reached the scene and a high alert was imposed in the area. SSP Operations Tauqeer Naeem also met the affected individuals. Thankfully, all present in the vehicle remained safe during the firing."
It further said senior police officers of the Township and Chung, along with a heavy police contingent, were present at the scene.
"Police collected evidence from the site and initiated an investigation. Efforts to arrest the suspects are underway using CCTV footage and geo-fencing techniques. Search and sweep operations are being conducted at various locations, with scrutiny of suspicious individuals ongoing," police said.
It added that those involved in the incident will be traced and arrested soon.
The police sources said that Hamza has been shifted to his residence in Jauhar Town, Lahore, where police and agency personnel met him.
The leadership of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), a political front of Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's banned Jamat-ud-Dawah (JuD), including Hafiz Saeed's son Hafiz Talha Saeed, also called on him.
TV host retired Justice Ghazi, who remained unhurt in the attack, remained a legal counsel for Hafiz Saeed, they said.
The PMML has strongly condemned the attack on Hamza and demanded that those involved in the incident be arrested immediately.
Hamza is regarded as LeT's second most important leader after its chief Hafiz Saeed, who has been in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail since 2019 after getting convicted for several years in terror financing cases.
Hamza has been designated as a terrorist by the US. In the past, he served as the head of LeT's "special campaigns" department.
In 2018, Hamza formed a fundraising group for the LeT following a ban on the JuD and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation by the Pakistani government.
