Ceiling of Shopping Center collapsed in Doha - 18 injured

It happened in Ramez Shopping Center . A part of the ceiling collapsed leaving 18 people injured .  The building on the Salwa road was an old one . Some others shops were forced to shut down as electricity was cut in the area .

 This is not the first ceiling collapse in shopping centres in Qatar . As far as I remember in the last decade there was a false- ceiling collapse in the Landmark  and in the City Center as well . These were new buildings  and the quality of the  work  must have been poor . This is the first time I hear about old building collapse in Doha .

 Similar accident happened in Doha  in 2015  when a baby was hurt  .

 Here is the Ministry of Interior's tweet about the accident
