Lahore.Rescue officials in Pakistan are working frantically to save dozens of people thought to be trapped in rubble after a factory collapsed in the city of Lahore.

At least 17 people died when the factory, which was under construction, collapsed on Wednesday.

Cranes and bulldozers are being used, and the Army is assisting in the rescue efforts.

The cause of the collapse is still unknown, but reports say building safety levels are often below standard in Pakistan.

In September 2014, at least 24 people were killed in Lahore when the roof of a Mosque collapsed.
