The Gul Plaza fire incident in Karachi has sparked significant political and judicial activity, with various stakeholders calling for accountability and justice. According to ARY News, the Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah announced compensation of Rs10 million for each of the 26 families affected by the tragedy, emphasizing that the government does not seek media attention when delivering these compensations. He stated, 'It is not appropriate to visit people’s homes every day and seek media publicity.' An inquiry report has been received, and actions have been taken against certain individuals, with a letter sent to form a judicial commission to further investigate the incident. Meanwhile, Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori's request for a judicial commission was rejected by the Sindh High Court due to non-compliance with legal protocols, as reported by both Pakistan Today and Dawn. The court emphasized that the request did not adhere to the 'relevant law and settled case law in letter and spirit.'
