KARACHI: A fire erupted on the fourth floor of a multi-storey building, Techno City, located at I.I. Chandrigarh road in Karachi early Monday morning.
According to fire officials, a snorkel and half a dozen fire tenders are taking part in the fire fighting operation to douse the fire in the building at one of the busiest streets of the city.
Fire tenders of Pakistan Navy are also helping the fire fighters to extinguish the fire, the Pak Navy’s spokesperson said in a statement.
A short circuit is believed to be the cause of the fire. No casualties were reported.

Meanwhile, the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) expressed concern over delay on the part of the fire fighters to douse the fire at the building and called upon the provincial government to work out a strategy to prevent such incidents in future.
