KARACHI: Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori has called for joint efforts as heavy rainfall triggered urban flooding in Karachi, leaving at least 11 dead.
Talking to media, the governor described the post-rain situation in Karachi as extremely dire, stating that the city is submerged in water and residents are facing severe hardships.
“Such a situation does not occur in any other mega city around the world. Thousands of vehicles are still stranded in water, and yesterday was one of the darkest days for Karachi,” he lamented.
Tessori emphasized the need to set politics aside and focus on collective efforts for relief.
Without naming Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, Governor Tessori extended an offer of cooperation, urging, “Let us work together. Please, no one should politicize the situation. People are suffering, and Karachiites looked helpless and abandoned today.”
He also appealed to philanthropists to step forward and assist the affected population, assuring the public that they would not be left alone in these challenging times.
Meanwhile, political leader Farooq Sattar, who visited various rain-affected areas, echoed similar sentiments.
