Rescuers are racing against time at Gul Plaza on M.A. Jinnah Road, where a devastating fire has killed at least 23 people. The blaze, which began late Saturday and raged for nearly 24 hours, has left the multi-story structure unstable and charred. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has promised 10 million rupees ($36,000) in compensation for each bereaved family. Initial investigations suggest the fire spread uncontrollably due to highly flammable stocks of cosmetics, clothing, and plastics—a recurring hazard in Karachi, where safety regulations are often lax.
