Pakistan: 4 People Died, 2 Injured In The Karachi Mall Fire

Two people were injured, and the number of fatalities increased to four in the Arshi retail mall and residential complex fire that occurred near Ayesha Manzil in Karachi. The cooling process is presently underway, according to Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, who also stated that the fire at the mall was under control. He said that after fire department officials finish their work, authorities will determine the full magnitude of the losses. The police stated that the mall is mostly home to foam shops, which is why the fire is getting worse so quickly. There was a traffic delay and vehicle damage when the fire broke out at the Arshi Shopping Centre in Karachi, according to reports. Black smoke could be seen rising into the sky in television footage of the building catching fire. There were also observable firefighters making an effort to put out the vivid orange flames. “A third dead body has been found,” announced Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab on X, noting that the rescue effort is still underway. Though I will provide more proof, I have been aware of two casualties thus far. I’m on the site right now. The Ayesha Manzil fire problem is being handled by a fire brigade crew that is on the scene. Also available to rescue someone from the roof when needed is a snorkel. Promise to update everyone,” he continued. Wahab said in another post, “People are being securely evacuated from the building while the rescue operation continues. As of right now, I can vouch for the fact that two patients with catastrophic burn injuries have been admitted to the Burns Ward of the Civil Hospital. Search efforts are underway, but no corpses have turned up as yet. I’ll update everyone.”
