The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted thundercloud formation over Karachi later this afternoon or evening, prompting the Sindh government to cancel local government holidays and implement emergency response measures in anticipation of the anticipated monsoon rains.
Local government vacations have been canceled, according to Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, and plans have been put in place to guarantee that rainwater in the city’s most vulnerable areas drains right away.
He said that precautions were taken to guarantee that dewatering pumps will be available in low-lying locations. Additionally, Memon announced that a Rain Emergency Center had been set up and would be open 24/7.
