RAWALPINDI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 29th Jul, 2023 ) :A massive fire broke out at Rabi Center, Gulf Center, and China Center in Rawalpindi's Rehmanabad area, leading to a swift response from rescue officials and fire brigades.
Rescue 1122 Rawalpindi deployed eight fire tenders and special rescue vehicles to the scene to control the blaze, which reportedly started in shops on the second and third floors of the commercial plazas.

Provincial Minister for Primary and Secondary Healthcare and Population Welfare, Dr Jamal Nasir, personally visited the site on Murree Road to inspect the rescue operation.
He stressed the importance of thoroughly examining the three affected plazas, Rabi Center, Gulf Center, and China Center, to prevent any chance of the fire rekindling.

The efforts of Rescue 1122 were commended for their timely response in bringing the fire under control.
