Cause of the fire in Karachi factory could not be ascertained
How did a fire break out in a factory in Korangi Mehran Town area of Karachi? Couldn’t figure it out.
The fire department has not yet been able to prepare a preliminary report on the incident that claimed 17 lives.
More than 24 hours after the incident, no inquiry committee could be formed and no decision could be taken to forensicize the matter.
The fire at the chemical factory raised questions about the competence of several departments.
Police have registered a case against the factory owners, managers, supervisors and watchmen at the behest of the government.
The case includes a murder charge clause stating that there was only one way to get to the factory.
The FIR also said that there was no way out of the factory in case of emergency and there was no alarm system.
