The Saadi Garden area in Karachi has been inundated after monsoon shower flooded nearby drain, reported Thursday.

Administration has failed to take action and locals have not received any help yet.

According to the residents, the situation could worsen if the administration does not take immediate action to curb the issue.

Commissioner paid a visit to the site and reviewed the situation. Locals complained about administration’s slackness and demanded immediate solution to the issue.

It should be noted here that around three years ago, residents of the town had borne financial losses after an issue of the same kind.

According to reports, K-Electric authorities hid facts from the people after questions regarding power outages ever since the first monsoon shower.

It has been revealed that at least 812 power feeders had tripped on Tuesday but K-Electric told the people about 200 faults only.

Not once in the past 100 years have that high number of feeders tripped in one night.

Earlier this week, first monsoon downpour left different Karachi roads and several localities’ streets waterlogged while K-Electric customers had to bear without electricity for over 15 hours.

Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah ordered immediate release of Rs 200 million to clear drains of the city before further monsoons showers trouble the locals.
