KARACHI, Dec 19 (APP): The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s Fire Brigade Department has performed cleaning of churches across Karachi ahead of Christmas, including their interiors, roofs, upper structures, and outer walls—an act never witnessed before in Pakistan’s collective history.
What made this initiative truly extraordinary was the fact that the Muslim firefighters cleaned Christian churches, a powerful symbol of Pakistan’s values of unity, tolerance, brotherhood, and peaceful coexistence. Going beyond their routine responsibilities, the KMC Fire Brigade undertook the comprehensive cleaning of church interiors, rooftops, upper structures, and external walls, removing years of accumulated dust and restoring the sanctity and dignity of these sacred places.
The churches included in this historic initiative were St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity Cathedral, St. Andrew’s Church, Central Brooks Memorial Church, Seventh-day Adventist Church, and Christ Church on Mission Road.
Church leaders and members of the Christian community expressed heartfelt gratitude and deep appreciation for the Fire Brigade firefighters’ professionalism, integrity, and selfless service.
Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab paid special tribute to the officers and personnel of the Fire Brigade, stating that this initiative highlights them as frontline protectors of society, silent guardians, and moral leaders.
The Christian community also extended sincere thanks to the Mayor Karachi and the KMC Fire Brigade for preparing the churches for Christmas and for delivering a strong national message of interfaith harmony, mutual respect, and unity.
The Christian community expressed hope that this noble tradition will continue, so that future generations may be inspired to place humanity above all forms of division.
