Major Fire Destroys Over 30 Shops in Karachi’s Furniture Market

A devastating fire erupted late Monday night in Karachi's Gulistan-e-Jauhar area, destroying over 30 furniture shops near Kamran Chowrangi. The fire was so intense that it sent thick smoke and flames visible from several kilometers away. Firefighters quickly responded, deploying six fire tenders to control the blaze overnight. Thankfully, no lives were lost, though the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

This incident follows a recent fire at Rimpa Plaza, further raising concerns about fire safety in the city’s commercial buildings. Authorities are closely examining both events to prevent further tragedies.
