Drowned minor girl’s body fished out of Karachi’s SITE by searchers
KARACHI: The body of a minor girl who had drowned in a drain in the SITE area on Saturday was recovered Sunday morning.
Four-year-old Noor Fatima had fallen into Orangi Nala while playing with other children on a makeshift bridge near her home on Saturday.
Her six-year-old brother saw her fall and immediately called their family. At first, the family searched in the sewage for the child themselves but later rescue teams came to search.
Edhi workers and Pakistan Navy divers had called off a search operation on Sunday evening after it failed to yield results.
The father of the drowned girl, Azmat Khan said Noor Fatima was playing with her sibling when she fell into a nearby drain at around 3:00 pm on Saturday.
Following the incident, over 40 local residents had jumped into the drain to try to save her, but to no avail.
Afterwards, rescuers were called in, who launched efforts to find her but they too remained unsuccessful.
