Family loses four members, had planned to move out of bldg soon

On Tuesday morning, as the Salmani family was lazing around in their second-floor flat at Kesarbai-B, the matriarch, Firdos (44), raised an alarm on seeing a few pieces of the ceiling fall off. The eight of them rushed out at once but were almost instantly trapped under the debris. The family lost four members—Firdos’ daughter-in-law Sana (25) and her toddler son Ibrahim, and brothers Muzzamil Ahmed(15) and Zubair Ahmed (20). Firdos, her son Naved (30), daughter Zeenat (23) and her daughter Nusra (2) survived with injuries.
