urban flooding alert

Power utility, K-electric, has yet to complete earthing of electricity poles ahead of the rainfall. It is to be mentioned here that around 49 people had died by electrocution in heavy rainfall in Karachi last year.

Due to likely heavy rainfall, the situation of urban flooding in Karachi may further be aggravated on Friday, with water logging in low lying areas of the city and isolated places in other parts of Sindh, the met office said.
