Following the tragic incident at Gul Plaza, Karachi authorities have established 300 temporary shops at the Polo Ground to provide immediate relief to affected traders. To ensure a stable business environment for the upcoming Ramadan 2026 season, the site has been equipped with essential utilities, including electricity, water, and sanitation.

Relief and Security Measures

The initiative is designed to help local small business owners resume their livelihoods while permanent reconstruction efforts are underway:

  • Site Inspection: Sindh Local Government Minister Nasir Shah and Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab personally inspected the stalls to ensure they meet the needs of the traders.
  • Security Deployment: To maintain order and safety at the temporary marketplace, 50 city wardens have been deployed to the area.
  • Judicial Inquiry: While traders resume work, the Gul Plaza Judicial Commission is actively gathering data and citizen submissions to determine the cause of the tragedy and prevent future occurrences.

Implementation details and the duration of the temporary setup may vary according to government decisions. For legal queries regarding the tragedy, please refer to the official notices issued by the Judicial Commission.
