Islamabad: In the early hours of Friday, a fire erupted in a multi-story towel factory situated in Karachi’s Korangi industrial area. However, no casualties have been reported thus far.

According to details, Rescue 1122 said that four fire tenders took part in the firefighting operation, reaching the place where the blaze had erupted due to a lack of proper access and the building being full of smoke, private news channels reported.

The primary focus of this probe will be to identify the root causes of the fire, which have remained unknown so far, rescue sources added.

A contingent of law enforcers also reached the site to help the fire brigade put out the flames.

The blaze caused the loss of millions of rupees as equipment, towels, and cloth in the factory were reduced to ashes.
