GUJRANWALA: A woman set ablaze over some domestic issue in Rahwali on Friday.

She was rushed to the District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ) where doctors referred her to Lahore due to severe burn injuries. Separately, a girl was crushed to death by a truck on Grand Trunk Road near Rahwali. According to details, seven-year-old Haseena was going home with her father on a motorcycle rickshaw when she suddenly fell down and was run over by a truck.
