The death toll from the massive fire at Gul Plaza on MA Jinnah Road has risen to 30 on Wednesday, confirmed Dr Summaiya Syed, Police Surgeon Karachi. More than 80 people remain missing as rescue teams continue searching the rubble under hazardous conditions.

Dr Syed added that examinations of additional remains recovered from the site are ongoing, and there is a possibility that the death toll could rise further.

Rescue teams have also begun search operations on the second floor, third floor, and in the basement of the building.

The Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) remained present around Gul Plaza for the second consecutive day.

According to the person in charge of the Bomb Disposal Squad, no sampling has been carried out so far. Ghulam Mustafa Araeen said the team is monitoring the situation while remaining present around the debris. He added that no institution has so far expressed suspicion of sabotage; however, the reasons behind the rapid spread of the fire will be reviewed.

Meanwhile, the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) has termed certain media reports regarding Gul Plaza as completely baseless and contrary to facts, in which it was claimed that records of the building were not available with the authority.
