For the past few days, Keamari has been the hub of a vicious virus and contains huge deaths in keamari because of toxic virus. Keamari where you get to see the various industrial plants for plastic, fabric, and other manufacturers.
The toxic fumes resulted in the deaths of 18 residents of Ali Ahmed Goth and how it all happened. This devastating incident took place in one of the plastic factories in Keamari that catered to various residents and affected kids.

The deadly virus surely captivated Ghulam’s whole family and just as that others got affected as well.
Deaths In Keamari Due To Toxic Virus
Soon toxic fumes rose in the plastic recycling factory due to negligence conducted by the owners and it cost many lives.
As per Ghulam, it started with a high-grade fever, adding that the affected people soon started to complain of sore throats and shortness of breath.
