KARACHI: The unabated fire in the city’s Korangi area has finally come to an end and has been extinguished on Tuesday after burning on for 17 days, with the pit still emitting gas resulting in boiling water 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.
