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.

直播吧4月21日讯 巴西传奇后卫卡福接受了《马卡报》的专访，期间他谈到了关于拉菲尼亚和安切洛蒂等话题。
拉菲尼亚
“拉菲尼亚值得拿到一座金球奖，他今年各大赛事的数据表现都很好，包括西甲和欧冠。巴萨有夺得欧冠冠军的可能性。”
安切洛蒂
“我在米兰的时候曾与安切洛蒂共事过5年，因此清楚了解他能为巴西队带来些什么。我当然希望所有伟大的主教练都能来巴西，如果这个人是安切洛蒂就更好了。我们必须等待足协管理层的决定，看谁将成为巴西队的新主帅，但愿他们能尽快定下来。”
皇马
“皇马就是皇马，他们是一支令人恐惧的充满压制力的队伍，我非常看好他们。虽然皇马在欧冠被淘汰出局，但他们依然是原来那支恐怖的球队。我相信明年，皇马将满血归来。”
维尼修斯和种族主义
“我们必须抵抗种族主义，这是教育方面的问题。应教育人们互相平等对待，这是维尼修斯想通过足球场传达的信息。
