Moonsoon disaster in Karachi and government negligence.
Moonsoon disaster in Karachi and government negligence. yQVPV
Karachi, the City of Lights, is one of the megacities of the world. Besides being the capital city of Sindh province, it is a business hub of Pakistan and also a port city, but it is completely neglected by the higher authorities. It is a story about the cosmopolitan city of Pakistan, Karachi.
Although Karachi pays the highest taxes, the city's infrastructure demonstrates a completely different notion. If anyone had visited rural Sindh, he would have seen more or less the same devastated conditions in urban and rural areas. Recent monsoon rains have washed out all the government's fake promises. Inundated by the rain, half of the province is now being punished. Even if there was a hope of growth, now it has completely lost it. Similarly, Karachi was completely struck by rain. Roads in the megacity have been completely torn off amid heavy rains.
This is not the first time Karachi and other parts of Sindh have stripped off in the past as well. The torrential rains of the last decade outburst the river Indus and once again showed how the Indus civilization was destroyed centuries ago. It has also surfaced that the river which helped its first inhabitant to thrive could also be its destroyer.
Overall, Sindh province, especially Karachi, needs overwhelming efforts to restructure its utility networks, which comprise roads, drainage systems, and food and water supply systems. And civil society is also responsible for educating people to lessen their carbon footprint. Overall, it is a collective responsibility of governments and people to reduce climate change catastrophe.
