 According to the details garnered, the fire is uncontrolled after eight hours as four more godowns are under the fire.

After being informed, six fire brigade vehicles and two bowsers arrived at the scene and launched an operation. Fire tenders of the Pakistan Navy have also reached the site to control the raging fire. The blaze has yet to be doused after eight hours.

Due to narrow and dilapidated roads, the rescue teams are finding it difficult to contain the fire. The fire team is facing difficulty because of a shortage of water.

It's difficult for more tankers to reach the site because of the bad condition of the road leading to the factory. So far no loss of life or injuries have been reported.

It was also reported that the blaze has badly damaged the warehouse. No casualty was reported in the inferno however, valuables worth millions of rupees were reduced to ashes due to fire.
