After the recent unfortunate incidents in Karachi following the heavy downpour, NEPRA has advised people to take safety measures in case of rains. The rains in Karachi claimed the lives of as many as 20 people.
Rain in Islamabad is a must because of mountains and forests around the valley as long as rain water or storm water drains carry all the water towards the waste, but everyone should look around the city low lying areas where the rain water clusters up and causes damage to houses and electric poles. All these scenarios are always looked over again and again, because no one bothers for the awam who are always left helpless and yet our govt. Wants to file our income tax. Pitty on the govt. They are just giving hopes and hopes but nothing. Thankyou Imran khan and the govt. For nothing.
The beauty of Islamabad is that no mater how heavy the rain fall is, after sometime there is no sign of rain on roads unlike other cities where people can enjoy flooded roads for days !
