一 | Islamabad, Oct 9 (UNI) A fire broke out in the food court of a popular shopping mall in Pakistan's capital Islamabad on Sunday, media reports said.

The fire has been brought under control and the cooling process has been initiated after videos on social media platforms showed smoke emitting out of the building, according to Geo news.

In a statement, Islamabad Police said that people were rescued and safely evacuated from the backdoor of the mall — which was engulfed in smoke after the fire.

The search operation is still underway, and no person or shop has been harmed, the police said, adding that the fire inside the mall has been doused out and a helicopter has also been called in.

"However, the fire has not been completely extinguished on the outside of the mall," the police said, requesting the citizens to avoid travelling near the mall to ensure that rescue teams could do their work uninterrupted.

To oversee the situation, Inspector-General Islamabad Dr Akbar Nasir Khan, senior police officials, and district administration representatives reached the mall, located in F-8.

Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) capt (retd) Mohammed Usman Younas is also at the site and overseeing rescue and firefighting operations.

All resources are being utilised to control the fire as early as possible, the CDA added.

The Islamabad Police later said that the building, under the orders of the deputy commissioner, would be sealed once the rescue operation was completed.

It added that the mall's building would remain sealed until a probe into the matter has been carried out. Until then, entry into the building would remain prohibited to the public.

In a separate statement, the police said that due to the fire, diversions have been placed for traffic from F-8 Exchange Chowk to Khyaban Chowk at Jinnah Avenue.

In his tweet, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that he was saddened by the incident and directed all authorities to ensure that the situation was brought under control at the earliest.

Taking notice of the incident, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah asked authorities to use everything at their disposal to ensure that the situation is under control.

PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz prayed for the situation to get better.

UNI GNK。本文来自微信公众号：财联社（ID：cailianpress），作者：彭科峰又见中小银行取消通知存款自动转存业务。昨日下午，贵州务川农商银行发文称面对通知存款产品进行调整，已于10月17日取消通知存款产品的主动转存功能。今日，财联社记者查询发现，仅在贵州省内近期已经有超十家银行机构发布此类公告。

二 | 此外，近期北京银行也在官网发文，自10月起新办理的单位通知存款，原则上挂钩北京银行挂牌利率。

三 | 在业内人士看来，此举是为了响应监管部门关于落实通知存款、协定存款利率自律要求的结果。相比中小银行，绝大部分国有行、股份行和上市城商行已经于去年下半年率先调整，取消了此类高息存款产品的自动转存功能。

四 | 贵州省内多家银行相继发声通知存款不再自动转存昨日，务川农商银行发布了关于调整部分存款产品的公告。在公告中，该行表示，为贯彻落实相关监管要求，进一步维护市场竞争秩序，“我行对通知存款、零存整取类产品进行调整。”其具体内容包括：于10月17日取消通知存款产品的自动转存功能，且办理支取产品前，需要通过该行任一网点或者电子渠道提前一天或者七天登记预约支取信息，避免资金造成损失。财联社记者查询发现，除了务川农商银行外，近期贵州省内还有赤水农信联社、万山长征村镇银行榕江农信联社等超十家农商行、村镇银行、农信联社等中小金融机构发布了类似通知。并且，这些金融机构基本都属于贵州省农信联社系统。除了这些地方银行，近期北京银行也发布了涉及通知存款的业务调整信息。9月底，北京银行在官网发布的公告显示，为更好适应存款利率市场化改革要求，该行将调整单位通知存款利率结构。

五 | 自2025年10月1日起，新办理的单位通知存款原则上挂钩北京银行挂牌利率（可在挂牌利率基础上进行加减点调整），单位通知存款存续期内如遇挂牌利率调整，自动分段计息。

六 | 此外，年内还有汉口银行等地方银行发布了中止类似特色储蓄存款产品的公告，将“本息到期后不进行自动转存”调整为“在当前存期的到期日，系统自动转存到期本息，按照当期转存日该产品执行利率计息” “通知存款本质上是银行此前开发出来的一款揽储工具。”某券商银行业分析师告诉财联社记者，贵州多地中小银行和北京银行的业务调整，实际上都是进一步降低了通知存款的利率，将其挂钩活期。大行去年下半年已集中调整高息存款不再能否助力“存款搬家” 财联社记者采访业内人士了解到，通知存款尤其是智能通知存款因为期限灵活，又能产生一定程度的利率上调，此前颇受部分低风险客户的喜爱。但在监管部门遏制银行存款定价无序竞争的背景下，去年下半年，六大国有行和绝大部分的股份行、城商行均已经率先叫停了通知存款的自动转存功能，部分大行还直接下架了智能通知存款产品。不过，部分存量产品可能存在未到期的可能，其到期后也会自然终止。 “我行已经于去年直接叫停了此类业务，目前智能通知存款产品已经下架了。
