All Stories: soybean dust

The FIA Corporate Crime Circle had sought answers of its questions and called the clearing agents to appear before it with all relevant documents on the date.

Police said on Tuesday that post-mortem of two out of 14 deceased people was completed and chemical examination of the blood specimens gave no signs of toxic gas.

Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs, Ali Zaidi, has categorically rejected the report pointed to “overexposure” to “soybean dust” as the probable cause of deaths in Karachi's areas near the port.

It was earlier pointed that a ship carrying soybean unloaded its cargo at Karachi Port, while the medical condition in which patients were facing breathing problems was reported in the area adjacent to the port.
