The <\/span>authorities <\/span>informed<\/span> that the district administration will seal the <\/span>site<\/span> where the <\/span>tragedy in <\/span>Karachi <\/span>took<\/span> place<\/span> to <\/span>avoid<\/span> further disturbance or <\/span>hazard<\/span>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah<\/a> has <\/span>ordered<\/span> a <\/span>thorough<\/span> meeting to <\/span>inquiry<\/span> into <\/span>the <\/span>reasons<\/span> behind the collapse <\/span>of the <\/span>building in <\/span>Lyari in response<\/span>\u00a0to the tragic accident<\/span>. He <\/span>pledged<\/span> rigorous<\/span> action against the people<\/span>\u00a0who were <\/span>responsible for <\/span>neglect<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Referring<\/span> to<\/span> wider<\/span> safety <\/span>issues<\/span>, the Chief Minister announced<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that <\/span>more<\/span> than <\/span>480 <\/span>Karachi <\/span>buildings<\/span> have been\u00a0declared <\/span>dangerous. <\/span>But<\/span> he <\/span>added<\/span> that when <\/span>government<\/span> officials<\/span> request <\/span>residents to <\/span>leave<\/span> such<\/span> buildings<\/span>, <\/span>individuals<\/span> tend<\/span> to<\/span> claim <\/span>alternative housing and <\/span>protection<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Karachi Commissioner Hassan Naqvi, who <\/span>went<\/span> to <\/span>the site after <\/span>13 hours, said that the <\/span>onus<\/span> of<\/span> the recent tragedy lies <\/span>first and foremost <\/span>with <\/span>the<\/span> people<\/span> living <\/span>in <\/span>dangerous<\/span> buildings.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nHe <\/span>added<\/span> that the Sindh Building Control Authority had <\/span>issued notices <\/span>earlier<\/span> for <\/span>the collapsed <\/span>building<\/span>.<\/p>\n

He <\/span>asked<\/span> people<\/span> to <\/span>give<\/span> importance to <\/span>the safety of <\/span>their families and <\/span>themselves and <\/span>told<\/span> them<\/span> that forcibly <\/span>removing<\/span> people from their <\/span>residences<\/span> is <\/span>not<\/span> a<\/span> job anyone wishes to undertake<\/span>, and the administration has no <\/span>such<\/span> plans.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Rescue<\/span> officials<\/span> say<\/span> that<\/span> another<\/span> building<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> vicinity<\/span> has also <\/span>developed<\/span> cracks<\/span> due<\/span> to<\/span> the collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n

The SBCA<\/span> says that <\/span>the building, which collapsed in <\/span>the<\/span> Baghdadi area <\/span>of Lyari, <\/span>had been <\/span>termed<\/span> hazardous<\/span> a <\/span>long <\/span>time back<\/span>.<\/p>\n

SBCA officials <\/span>informed<\/span> that the <\/span>building<\/span> was<\/span> marked unsafe, and a number<\/span>\u00a0of <\/span>enforcement actions had been taken. Officials <\/span>stated<\/span> that a number<\/span>\u00a0of <\/span>notices were issued <\/span>with<\/span> directions to the <\/span>residents to vacate the <\/span>property<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Residents of the <\/span>neighborhood<\/span>, however, <\/span>stated<\/span> that no such notices <\/span>had<\/span> been<\/span> issued <\/span>by the administration.<\/p>\n
