Karachi is playing with fire
Karachi’s largest industrial area has one fire tender for 4,000 factories
KARACHI:
One of the largest industrial areas in the country, SITE, has a single fire station with only one functional fire tender at its disposal to cater to more than 4,000 factories established at this location.
Sprawled on 5,000 acres, the SITE area exports goods worth billions of rupees and generates revenue of hundreds of millions for the exchequer. Unfortunately, fire safety arrangements are not of a standard that reflects the industrial area’s importance. In fact, it is a catastrophe in waiting.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, SITE Association of Industry (SAI) Chairman Abdul Hadi said that the area is a disaster with regard to fire incidents. “From October 1 to December 14, 2020, 47 fire-related incidents occurred. No casualties were reported, but they caused a financial loss of between Rs700 million to Rs800 million.”

It always makes for good PR when the Sindh government announces that it is giving KMC moneyâexcept for the fact that it is one major reason why KMC is poor in the first place. On Thursday, the chief minister said the Sindh government was giving KMC a Rs170 million grant so it could play its senior employees who have been waiting for their salaries since November. KMC cannot afford to pay its salaries because it doesnât make enough money. That is because the Sindh government has changed the laws 20 times at least, since 2010, to strip KMC of its ability to earn, charge fees and taxes.
