GUJRANWALA:
A man’s face got burnt on Tuesday when a bowl of acid fell on him.
The injured, Hamid Ali, a factory worker, was taken to Civil Hospital, where doctors treating him said he would likely survive. Police said Ali, a resident of Fatumand, worked at a small factory where workers polished and painted iron. Ali was cleaning iron with acid, when he mistakenly touched a bowl of acid kept at a height and it fell on his face. Police said a case had been registered against the owner of the factory for not providing workers with safety gear.
