In January 2026, a major fire swept through a shopping plaza in the busy Price Road area of Quetta, destroying at least 120 shops and leaving three people, including two firefighters, unconscious during efforts to bring the flames under control.
Officials said the fire broke out in the early hours in Haleem Plaza and gutted shops selling mobile phones, electronic goods, shoes and garments.
Police, rescue workers and fire brigade personnel reached the site and rescued 15 people, including 14 hairdressers and the plaza’s watchmen, who were trapped inside the burning building.
