Following the recent rainfall in Karachi, the city is facing severe urban flooding and deteriorating road conditions. Rainwater and sewage have accumulated on streets across various neighborhoods, causing significant disruption.
In Model Colony, large potholes have formed due to stagnant rainwater, trapping several vehicles. Notably, a police mobile also got stuck in one of the potholes yesterday, with videos of the incident going viral on social media.
Residents expressed their frustration, urging the city administration to take immediate action. "Mayor Sahib, please have some mercy on us, the situation in Model Colony is terrible," a local citizen appealed.
The rain, which initially brought relief, quickly turned into a nightmare due to poor drainage and administrative negligence. Areas still affected by water accumulation include Model Colony, Korangi 2½, Industrial Area, Bagh Korangi, Qayyumabad, KPT Bridge, Orangi Town, Baldia, and surrounding localities.
Locals complained that concerned authorities are nowhere to be seen, and they called on the Mayor of Karachi to launch urgent repair and drainage work to restore normalcy.
