Baldia Town
A second, more critical fire broke out at a residential building located in the Gulshan-e-Mazdoor area of Baldia Town.
The incident occurred in a high-density residential scheme known for its compact 60-square-yard housing units near Naval Colony.
Residents have reported that several individuals are currently trapped inside the burning structure.
Authorities and local volunteers are currently working to rescue those inside by breaking down the building’s doors.
While the fire brigade has been alerted and police have reached the scene, locals are also attempting to extinguish the flames using their own resources.
