Judicial tribunal to probe Karachi factory fire
An inquiry officer is asked to submit the findings within a week.
The investigation will look into the cause of the fire, the kind of civil defence system available inside the building and the extent of negligence on the owner's part.
Chief Secretary Raja Muhammad Abbas has tasked DIG Manzur Mughul with the same job.
Sindh Governor Ishratul Ebad announced a day of mourning in the city. He said that not only would action be taken against the factory owners, but officials of SITE, the labour department and civil defence would not be spared either. “The negligent officers of these departments are equally responsible,” he said.
