The 2015 Lahore factory disaster resulted when a shopping bag factory located on the Sundar Industrial Estate[1] near Lahore, Pakistan collapsed[5][6][2] on 4 November 2015, killing at least 45 people[3] and trapping about 150.[2]
A large rescue operation is underway and includes a team of army engineers and urban search-and-rescue personnel.[2][3] Messages have been received via mobile phones from people trapped in the rubble.[2] The challenge of getting heavy machinery to the site of the collapse is hampering the rescue effort, according to an official.[3]
