Gul Plaza was not just a shopping center; it was a cultural icon of Karachi.
The exact number of lives lost in the fire may never be fully known, but the scale of loss is heartbreaking:
• 1,200 shops destroyed
• $20–25 million worth of stock reduced to ashes
• Nearly $100 million in total value burned
This is a colossal tragedy for Karachi’s traders and for the city itself.
May Allah SWT grant sabr to the affected families and bless them with better days ahead.
