Karachi witnessed an unexpected frenzy as rumors of gold particles in the Malir River near Korangi Causeway drew massive crowds armed with digging tools and dreams of striking it rich.
According to reports, people from nearby areas—men, women, and even children—flocked to the riverbanks, digging into the soil in hopes of uncovering precious metal.
