Fire engulfs petrol shops in Lahori Gate area
Previously, a major fire broke out at shops selling petrol in the Lahori Gate area of Peshawar. It caused significant damage and financial losses, according to local residents and witnesses.
The fire reportedly spread quickly across several petrol-selling shops. Thick smoke rose from the area and raised fears of further explosions due to the presence of highly flammable fuel.
Witnesses said the fire caused losses worth millions of rupees. However, the exact amount of damage has not yet been independently confirmed.
The incident also led to concerns about safety arrangements in the area. Residents questioned whether the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) authorities had proper safety and emergency measures in place.
Local residents said that shops storing and selling petrol in a busy neighbourhood could pose a serious risk to public safety.
Emergency services were called to the scene to control the fire. The cause of the blaze is still unknown. It has also not been confirmed whether the affected shops were following the required safety rules.
Authorities have not yet announced the findings of an investigation into the incident.
