The showbiz industry has expressed deep grief and anger over the death of three-year-old Ibrahim, who fell into a manhole near Nipa Chowrangi.
Karachi is the largest city in Pakistan, where residents continue to suffer accidents every day due to administrative negligence and carelessness. The accident occurred at around 11 pm on Sunday. Ibrahim had gone shopping with his parents and suddenly fell into an open manhole in front of his father.
Locals immediately started rescue operations, and after 15 hours, a young man in the Gulshan-e-Iqbal area retrieved the child’s body. During this, local people made rescue efforts with their own help. After the tragedy, Ibrahim’s funeral prayers were offered, and he was buried.
Ibrahim’s death not only saddened the citizens of Karachi but also left the showbiz industry in mourning. Actors and celebrities are expressing their grief and anger over the accident and are severely criticizing the government’s negligence and administrative failure behind the incident.
Ahsan Khan, a famous actor in the Pakistani showbiz industry, shared a picture of Ibrahim and wrote, “We could not give you the protection that is the basic right of every child; your innocence and helplessness are a sign of our collective failure. Ibrahim, forgive us.”
Actress Fatima Effendi raised the question in her post, “These people who are getting crores of rupees from e-challans, can’t they even install manhole covers on the road with this money?”
TV and film actress Mahira Khan said, “I saw a video in which a mother is crying for her child, who is responsible for this accident? Unimaginable indifference.”
Actress Sajal Ali said in heartbreaking words about the tragedy, “It is extremely sad and heartbreaking. Whoever is responsible for this should be ashamed. Who is responsible for Karachi? Who is responsible for this failed system?” She added that nothing is done in the security arrangements of a city that bears the burden of millions of people.
Other personalities have also severely criticized the government and the Karachi administration. They said that the presence of open manholes in the city and their non-repair is clear proof of government negligence and administrative failure. Many personalities have demanded that immediate steps be taken to improve the plight of Karachi, so that such accidents can be avoided in the future.
Famous anchor Wasim Badami highlighted the growing problems and negligence of Karachi in his message on social media. Actress Mishi Khan directly criticized the Karachi government in her video and said that government agencies must take immediate steps to prevent such accidents.
There is a need for immediate repair and safety measures for open manholes across the city, so that the lives and property of citizens can be protected.
