        <description role="CCTVPLUSdescrole:Storyline" xml:lang="en">
Two people have been arrested in Pakistan and an investigation is underway after 14 children were killed in a roof collapse at a tutoring center in the eastern city of Lahore on Tuesday. 

The incident occurred in Kahna, a suburban area of Lahore in the eastern Punjab province, where dozens of children were attending tuition classes when the classroom roof suddenly caved in, trapping students beneath the debris, said Farooq Ahmed, a spokesperson of emergency service Rescue 1122. 

The rescue official said that 14 children died in the incident, while around 10 injured children remained in critical condition. 

"Only four or five children were still trapped when the Rescue 1122 team reached the spot. They pulled out another three or four children. The majority of the children had already been rescued by local residents. The rescue personnel then told us to move back so they could handle the rest. They cleared all the rubble, but no more children were found," said a local resident, Tariq Hussain. 

Police have sealed the house and registered a First Information Report against members of the household. Five people have been named in the case, including the teacher who was conducting the tuition classes. It is important to note that this was not a formal educational institution. It was a private home where a local teacher was giving tuition to students in a room inside the house. 

"The academy is not far from my home. There is only one house between us. My daughter had been going there for four years. I started sending her for tuition long ago so that when she started school, she wouldn’t be confused. In this neighborhood, Eidgaah Basti, there is one government school, but the quality of education is not very good. It is not a school where a child can really succeed," said Muhammad Farooq, father of a victim. 

The tragic incident has sent shockwaves across the country. The families of the children who died are still searching for answers and trying to determine who should be held responsible for this tragedy.
