150 People are burnt to death and about 120 are injured seriously, many of the injured are also 70 to 80 percent burnt. So the number of deceased is increasing. 150 people dead, not only these are 150 people but 150 families. A very sorrowful accident in the country.
But now comes the question, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE??
Then the answer is, it was an accident, and many a factors are responsible for this, Government, public, police, rescue, the container driver etc.
The incident took place near Ahmad Pur East, a tehsil of Bahawalpur district. The container slipped and leaked due to the burst of a tire and the oil started leaking on the road. Almost 40000 to 50000 litres of oil was in that. Now the people of every age and kind rushed there to have some oil.
The people are responsible, because it is clearly labelled on every such tanker, “Danger, Explosive material”. Then why did they came close to it. Were they fool, were their brain dead that they rushed into clear death? They rushed to death, not only the poverty is responsible but also the greed and foolishness of people responsible for their deaths.
BUT!
Why they rushed? The reasons are poverty in that areas, they are backward areas, and the lack of awareness, the lack of education. The poverty is at its peak and the people have become so that where they saw something beneficial for them, they thought nothing of having a benefit from it. Awareness comes from education, and these people also lacked the proper facilities of education. No education. No awareness. The poverty in Punjab has increased by 25% during the last 3 years. All these are the factors that make govt. responsible. Govt. murdered them, many a people have view…
Now moving forward, the tanker blasted about 1 hour after the leakage, all this time people collected oil. Some shooted videos. But during this time, what did the police, driver, rescue had done??? They should make people aware of the danger and pull them away from the point. The police as well as army force can be used. The traffic police claimed that they warned people, but people got no effect. If the police and army can stop thousands of terrorists and many other crowds, even Khan’s Dharna.. How could not they stop only 300 people? But they did not came to the mark.. Again govt. is responsible.
After the tanker has blast. Many an injured are carried to the Bahawal Victoria Hospital, A hospital which covers all the southern Punjab areas, from Rahim yar khan to bahawalnagr, muzafarabad etc.. A hospital 120 years old. But this hospital has no burn center?? No burn centre. The burnt were treated in simple wards. And some are transferred to Multan, Nishtar Hospital. There is no burn centre in such a great hospital. What the govt. is doing??? Metro? Orange Train? What the benefit of orange train to those people who even have to buy a syringe(worth 5 rupees) from bazaar? No health and education facilities. What the govt. doing? Why are the people paying such a huge amount of tax? Is the budget only for one city of Pakistan.
The leaders, they are out of country when their people are burning to death. And after a day, they visit their dead bodies. And claim to give them money, no matter how much. But can the money make them alive? Can money bring back the sons of those mothers?? Those who lost all their family, what they will do with money?
Are not these people afraid of Allah? They should make it sure that they also have to die one day. All their money, family, the black money, and the corruption, all remains here.
Hazrat Umar(R.A) said that if a child of goat dies on the shore of River Faraat due to hunger, he will be responsible for it on the day of resurrection.
But these leaders, our govt. they have no fear of Allah, the day of resurrection, they only have to make money..
So by considering all the factors, although the people are somewhat responsible for this incident and deaths, but upto the blast only. After that and before that, all the responsibility is of Govt. and management. Govt. is responsible for their deaths, they are responsible for lack of facilities.
But the govt. they are made by the people. People make the government. Democracy is what which makes people able to choose their government. Then why did they choose such a government. Government is not made own its own. The people make wrong governments. People sell their votes for as low as 500 rupees. They are not ready to take even a little responsibility. They break laws. To make government better, people also have to correct themselves.

Also I salute to the team of Quaid-e-Azam Medical College, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, and Army who managed the situation in such a good manner even without the availability of proper facilities. Emergency held in BVH. QAMC provided all the first aid and treatment facilities, the doctors. Army provided the transport and lifting facilities. And also provided Helicoptors for transfer of patients to Burn Center Multan.
But, what have occurred, who is responsible, beyond all this, all that happened, bad happened. People are such burnt that it is impossible to identify them. Really a great loss for those peoples’ families. May Allah bless their souls, May Allah bless them with Jannah and their families with patience and perseverance and prevent others from such death. Make a Dua for the Maghfarat of those people, and all others who are not with us. May Allah grant uss with good governance and may there be peace in the country.
Ameen!
Ameen!
