Fire Safety Crackdown Seals Saddar Shops
City authorities launched a strict Fire Safety Crackdown in Saddar on Saturday. They sealed over 500 shops for violating fire safety rules. The action aims to protect shoppers, workers, and businesses.
Over 500 Shops Sealed in Saddar
Officials sealed nearly 400 outlets at Paradise Centre, including warehouses and workshops. In addition, authorities shut down another 100 shops at Japan Market. These steps targeted unsafe commercial spaces in crowded areas.
The crackdown followed instructions from Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi. He directed teams to enforce fire safety standards immediately. Therefore, officials moved quickly to reduce risks of potential disasters.
Authorities stressed that proper fire safety measures can save lives. Moreover, they want shop owners to comply with regulations before reopening. This approach encourages safer business environments for everyone.
Operation to Expand Across the City
Officials said they will expand the fire safety drive to other parts of the city soon. However, they will continue focusing on high-risk and densely populated markets first. This strategy can prevent future accidents.
The city administration wants commercial areas to follow safety rules without exception. As a result, businesses must improve fire prevention systems, emergency exits, and safety equipment.
The authorities also urged traders to cooperate with inspection teams. In the long run, strong compliance will help protect lives, property, and livelihoods. The Fire Safety Crackdown sends a clear message that safety comes first.
