Tragic news from Karachi: the death toll from the shopping mall fire has climbed to 60 after at least 30 bodies were recovered from the building’s mezzanine floor. Officials warn that several people are still missing as the search continues.
Senior police official Syed Asad Raza says crews are using advanced machinery to sift through debris in collapsed sections. "Smoke and heat are making it tough to reach some areas," he explains. One part of the mall is now clear, while rescue teams are combing two other sections for survivors.
Karachi Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi confirms a full-scale investigation is underway, examining every angle to understand what sparked the blaze.
For many young Karachiites who spend weekends chilling at malls like Dolmen or Ocean Mall, this tragedy hits close to home. The familiar buzz of music, food courts and movie nights is now overshadowed by grief.
