Karachi: Days after two buildings near Mukka Chowk in Azizabad area including defunct headquarters of Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) London, saw a massive inferno, there are suggestions it could now be demolished if deemed dangerous.

Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) has directed its technical team to survey buildings to determine whether building is dangerous for habitation or if it can be repaired. In this regard, SBCA has written to its technical team to survey property. Based on survey and findings of technical team, further action will be taken, including possible demolition of fire-damaged buildings.

Last week, two buildings R-493 and R-494 were engulfed in flames after what fire services said was an inferno caused by a short-circuit. Fire completely engulfed buildings and caused emergency services to demolish their façade.
