Rangers and police personnel also arrived at the scene and participated in the rescue operation. Heavy machinery was called in to help clear the area as the rocks hit shacks built on a plot in Gulistan-i-Jauhar’s Block 1 area. Two families comprising 13 people were living in the shanties hit by the rockslide, area residents said. Commissioner Karachi Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leaders Faisal Sabzwari and Muhammad Hussain visited the site and inquired about the rescue operation.
