Moderate rainfall turns parts of Karachi into cesspools
July 13, 2021
KARACHI: An unexpected spell of monsoon rain on early Monday morning in Karachi exposed the claims of the federal and provincial governments of addressing the drainage related issues of the megapolis as the light to moderate showers resulted in inundation of low-lying areas, accumulation of water on major roads and power cuts in many areas of the city, turning the worst fears of the city dwellers true.
Tragically, the accumulated water and unsafe electric poles also claimed the life of a young teenager in the Al-Falah Society area near Malir Halt.
