Hi,
We know IAF is a no match against PAF so next attack will come in the form of Missile attack. India was planning to hit Karachi using Brahmos during the last conflict. We need to analyze what will happen if India does hit multiple targets in Karachi. Are we prepared to control the damage? I am focussing on Karachi because it is the most populous city of Pakistan and any attack on it will result in more casualties and damage to property than any other part of the country.
Imagine if a missile with a heavy warhead falls on a heavily populated area in Karachi and a fast-spreading fire breaks out. Do we have the capacity to control it quickly before the damage multiplies? Here is the report from Duniya news regarding Karachi's Fire Brigade:

"The department in Karachi had a fleet of 60 fire brigades in 2010. In 2011, an agreement was signed with a company named FRC to repair fire tenders. Eight years into that agreement and only 18 vehicles are left now."
I fear any such missile attack on a densely populated area will be uncontrollable and will lead to a bigger catastrophe than "Great Fire of London".

I think we need to equip fire brigade with newer equipment and with more fire tenders. We need a fleet of at least 300 to 400 fire tenders on an urgent basis and fire brigade staff needs to be properly trained too. We also need to work in the civil defense area and need to train youth in this regard.
