DEADLY INFERNO RIPS THROUGH KARACHI: OFFICIAL DEATH TOLL JUMPS AS CORPSES PULLED FROM ASHES—BUT THE REAL NUMBER COULD BE A NATIONAL SECRET
KARACHI, Pakistan — A HORRIFYING fire, which raged for nearly 24 hours at the Gul Plaza shopping complex, has now claimed at least 10 lives. But this official number is a BLATANT LIE, with local media reporting 14 dead and gut-wrenching scenes of families reporting 60 loved ones MISSING. This isn’t just a tragedy; it’s a SYSTEMIC MASSACRE enabled by a city that NEVER learns.
The flames, erupting late Saturday, consumed shops packed with flammable cosmetics and plastics—a DEATH TRAP waiting to ignite. Firefighters took a full day to subdue the beast, revealing a charred tomb from which four more bodies were recovered overnight. This is Karachi’s gruesome NORMAL: a cycle of illegal construction, corrupt oversight, and BLOOD.
While officials mumble about an “investigation,” grieving relatives weep outside the skeletal building, their anguish a DAMNING INDICTMENT of every official who turned a blind eye. This is the SAME city where a 2012 factory fire incinerated 260 people. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. The promises are ashes, the regulations are fiction, and the poor continue to pay with their lives.
The cause is “not immediately known”? LIES. The cause is PROFIT over people, NEGLECT over safety, and a culture of impunity that treats human life as disposable inventory. This isn’t an accident; it’s POLICY. Karachi is a city perpetually on fire, and its leaders are merely counting the bodies. How many more must die before someone is held accountable? The truth is buried deeper than the rubble.
