Pakistan’s government is facing intense criticism over its response to the devastating fire at Glittering Plaza in Karachi. Tanvir Pervaiz, the president of the Glittering Plaza Association, has submitted a response to the commission’s questionnaire, placing the blame for the tragic incident on the slow response of the rescue team.
According to Tanvir Pervaiz, the fire brigade’s first vehicle arrived at the scene at 10:55 pm, and within 20 minutes, the fire tenders ran out of water. Two more tenders arrived at 11:10 pm, but by then, the fire had spread to the ground floor, engulfing the entire complex.
Tanvir Pervaiz alleged that the rescue team did not have the necessary equipment, masks, or protective gear. The fire fighters did not have foam or chemicals to combat the fire, and the market administration had to rely on private tankers to aid in the rescue efforts. The initial response of the rescue team was slow, and it was not until after dawn that the rescue efforts gained momentum.
The judicial commission was stunned to discover that the Karachi fire brigade did not even have a wireless system. Tanvir Pervaiz claimed that the rescue efforts were hindered by the lack of proper equipment and facilities, resulting in the loss of many lives.
