SUKKUR / KARACHI:
702 people in Karachi reportedly succumbed to the heatwave which has lashed out Karachi and parts of Sindh in the past week.
Hundreds have been admitted in overcrowded public and private hospitals in four days, giving the impression that a disaster has struck the financial hub of Pakistan. And the manner in which the situation has been allowed to deteriorate, the impression doesn’t seem entirely off the mark.
Sea breeze and rain in lower parts of Sindh might bring relief to the heatwave-affected people of Karachi by Wednesday evening, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
