Yasmeen Lari warns that there are more Gul Plazas everywhere in Karachi!

Karachi has seen a lot of bad things, but the Gul Plaza fire really hit hard. Over 70 people died, and some are still missing. These aren’t just numbers; they’re families that will never be the same. After this terrible fire, everyone is wondering: *Who let this happen to Karachi?

Yasmeen Lari, a famous architect, didn’t hold back. At an event by Funoon Forum, she said something that was clear and scary.

Gul Plazas Are Everywhere

Yasmeen Lari’s words – There are Gul Plazas everywhere in the city – weren’t just about one building. She meant that many buildings in Karachi are dangerous. They have illegal changes, blocked exits, and don’t care about safety rules.

She said that shopping centers all over the city block hallways, don’t have exit signs, and ignore fire safety laws. These aren’t secrets; everyone sees them and somehow thinks it’s okay.

She’s warning us that what happened at Gul Plaza could happen again, anywhere.

The Price of Staying Quiet and Poor Leadership

Yasmeen Lari talked about how we’re all quiet when we see dangerous things going on. She wondered why we don’t speak up, especially since the city isn’t run well.

She mentioned that laws are just on paper. Bribery and greed are more important than keeping people safe. So, following the rules is optional, and no one is responsible.

The result? Buildings are made to make money, not to protect people.

When Money Matters More Than People

Lari also said that old buildings in Karachi are being torn down or changed illegally for new projects. This is ruining the city’s history and putting people’s lives in danger.

She made a strong point: *people are risking lives for money.* Fires, hot weather, floods, and broken buildings all show that something is very wrong.

Money Can’t Fix Everything

After disasters, the government usually gives money to victims. But Yasmeen Lari said that money can’t bring back loved ones. She believes that real help means stopping these things from happening in the first place. We need to plan better, make sure laws are followed, and everyone needs to care.

She’s talking to both the government and the people. If we let unsafe things happen, we’re all to blame.

Speak Up Before It’s Too Late

The **Gul Plaza fire** made Karachi face the truth: we have unsafe buildings, we ignore the rules, and we accept danger.

Yasmeen Lari’s words are a warning. Karachi is in danger, and we can’t be quiet anymore. We need to get involved, change the rules, and refuse to ignore the problems we see. The time to act is now.

If things don’t change, the next Gul Plaza is already out there, waiting to happen.
