The factory, which assembles iron stands, suffered the incident at around 6 pm, according to police reports. Both injured employees - identified as Tajim and Akram, aged 25 - were immediately hospitalised and are reportedly in stable condition.

Local authorities state that the roof gave way unexpectedly, trapping the two inside. Emergency teams responded promptly to shift the injured for medical care.
