KARACHI: The mysterious fire raging in the city’s Korangi area for over two weeks has finally been extinguished, bringing an end to a 17-day saga that captured public attention

However, gas emission from the pit is still underway leading to the eruption of water — which had been initially used by the firefighters to douse the blaze — at the site.

The fire, which started after a 1,200-foot-deep bore was drilled at the site on March 29, had led to concerns about the type and volume of gas responsible for the blaze. 


This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
