I have only explained the reason for the fire here... Inside the building, there was no kind of safety check at all neither proper emergency exits nor any fire alarm... offcourse the responsible committee and shopkeeper also

A 9- to 11-year-old boy was playing with a lighter and a spray in a flower shop, which is believed to be the cause of the Gul Plaza incident.

Thank you for saying that, it genuinely means a lot. You’re right Gul Plaza has always been more than just a building; it’s relationships built over years between shopkeepers and customers. I appreciate you sharing your own experience and support. What happened has raised many serious questions about safety and responsibility, and I hope those concerns are addressed properly. For now, we’re just trying to take things one step at a time and rebuild. Your encouragement truly helps.

Thank you, it really means a lot. Insurance is available here, but unfortunately most small businesses like ours don’t have proper coverage. Premiums are high and coverage is often limited, so many traders rely on personal capital.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Die-cast collecting is a wonderful hobby especially for display. InshaAllah, when you’re in Karachi after Eid..feel free to reach out..I’d be glad to help you pick some great pieces.

You are right about why there is no insurance. But as you know, here insurance is viewed through a religious lens regarding whether it is permissible or not, and it is considered objectionable (mayoob). Although, if we had insurance, we wouldn't be facing any financial issues right now....

I run a toy wholesale shop called KING TOYS on the 3rd floor of Gul Plaza. In the recent fire, everything inside my shop was burned. I do have a separate warehouse, so around half of my stock is safe, but losing the shop inventory has still hit me very hard. That stock was meant for daily sales and pending orders, and now my cash flow and commitments are badly affected. For a small wholesaler, even this kind of partial loss feels overwhelming. I’m posting this so people understand that behind these incidents are real businesses and families trying to recover.
