A massive fire broke out at a shopping mall in the eastern city of Lahore, Pakistan, resulting in a tragic death toll of at least 67 individuals. The incident occurred on Saturday evening, with the blaze reportedly starting on the ground floor of the mall, trapping many people inside. Rescue operations were promptly initiated by local authorities, with firefighters and paramedics rushing to the scene to extinguish the fire and assist those affected.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, with officials looking into potential electrical faults or a generator explosion as potential triggers for the tragedy. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and ordered a swift inquiry to determine the exact circumstances that led to the devastating fire.
The mall, located in a busy commercial area of Lahore, was a popular spot for families and shoppers, adding to the shock and grief felt by the community. As the rescue efforts continue and the investigation unfolds, questions are being raised about the safety measures in place at the mall and whether proper fire prevention protocols were followed.
The tragic incident has prompted calls for better enforcement of safety regulations in public buildings across Pakistan to prevent such disasters from occurring in the future. The authorities have promised a thorough investigation to hold accountable any individuals or entities found responsible for negligence that may have contributed to the high death toll in this unfortunate event.
