"Everything was gutted, and those families were left to fend for themselves. We have invested our hard-earned earnings in this place, and everything has been lost. We also have a shop and store for the shop on the front side of the structure. It was run by a poor person who lost all his savings." Bilal Ahmad, the owner of the structure, said.
