‘Weather surveillance radar fully functional’

Islamabad: With the district administration blaming a cloudburst for the flooding of some private housing societies in Islamabad’s upscale E-11 sector on Wednesday morning, the weathermen insist that faulty drainage system contributes to the downpour-induced havoc.
“I don’t blame any housing society for the damage caused to public life and property in E-11 this morning but there’s no denying the fact that if sewerage and drainage systems don’t work properly or basic construction principles are compromised, then life turns upside down for many whenever it rains heavily,” Pakistan Meteorological Department director-general Muhammad Riaz told ‘The News’.
