A | Islamabad, Oct 9 (UNI) A fire broke out in the food court of a popular shopping mall in Pakistan's capital Islamabad on Sunday, media reports said.
The fire has been brought under control and the cooling process has been initiated after videos on social media platforms showed smoke emitting out of the building, according to Geo news.
In a statement, Islamabad Police said that people were rescued and safely evacuated from the backdoor of the mall — which was engulfed in smoke after the fire.
The search operation is still underway, and no person or shop has been harmed, the police said, adding that the fire inside the mall has been doused out and a helicopter has also been called in.
"However, the fire has not been completely extinguished on the outside of the mall," the police said, requesting the citizens to avoid travelling near the mall to ensure that rescue teams could do their work uninterrupted.
To oversee the situation, Inspector-General Islamabad Dr Akbar Nasir Khan, senior police officials, and district administration representatives reached the mall, located in F-8.
Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) capt (retd) Mohammed Usman Younas is also at the site and overseeing rescue and firefighting operations.
All resources are being utilised to control the fire as early as possible, the CDA added.
The Islamabad Police later said that the building, under the orders of the deputy commissioner, would be sealed once the rescue operation was completed.
It added that the mall's building would remain sealed until a probe into the matter has been carried out. Until then, entry into the building would remain prohibited to the public.
In a separate statement, the police said that due to the fire, diversions have been placed for traffic from F-8 Exchange Chowk to Khyaban Chowk at Jinnah Avenue.
In his tweet, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that he was saddened by the incident and directed all authorities to ensure that the situation was brought under control at the earliest.
Taking notice of the incident, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah asked authorities to use everything at their disposal to ensure that the situation is under control.
PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz prayed for the situation to get better.

C | 近日，据多家媒体报道，国内两大汽车经销商集团中盛集团和快递汽车宣布已停止与汽车之家的合作，并进一步引发了汽车经销商“封锁”汽车之家的连锁反应。据报道，在互联网上传播的集团内部电子邮件表明，与汽车之家暂停合作的原因是合作成本的增加。”鉴于2019年汽车之家合作成本极不合理上涨，建议暂时停止与汽车之家的业务合作。根据中国汽车工业协会发布的最新数据，2018年汽车生产和销售分别完成2780.9万辆和2808.1万辆。产销比上年同期分别下降4.2%和2.8%，也是28年来首次同比下降。随着产销量的下降，汽车产销企业正面临着自身的经营困难，这可以说是压力之山。然而，汽车之家在11日发表声明说：“尚未从官方渠道获得中盛集团将封锁汽车之家的官方信息，商业合作中的价格谈判是正常的，即使没有达成协议，也不存在谁会封锁汽车之家的问题。
