The city of Karachi has had its third spell of monsoon rains yesterday morning. The weather sure has become a little pleasant. But at what cost? Apparently the city has been left to its own devices, which is a polite way of saying its drowning.<\/p>\n
The heavy showers on Sunday and Monday caused a lot of destruction and inconvenience to its inhabitants.<\/p>\n
Rainwater from the last two days has still not been drained out from different places as low-lying areas of Central, East and West Districts remain flooded.<\/p>\n
Following the rains, electricity in several areas had been suspended. Many died due to electrocution. Roads, alleys and homes had been flooded with rainwater mixed with sewage. Many experienced awful traffic jams as well.<\/p>\n
\nKarachites get excited over rain, little do they know the trubulent consequences it bring for next several months just because the local authorities don't pay heed on basic infrastructure so the rain don't become a misery for many!#KarachiSinks<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Tmgb4fNh7r<\/a><\/p>\n
