Karachi is grappling with intense monsoon rains that have claimed at least 10 lives, with forecasts predicting more heavy downpours. The deluge has disrupted schools, businesses, and public offices, magnifying the strain on a city infrastructure ill-equipped for such extreme weather conditions.

The death toll from rain-related incidents in Karachi has climbed to 17 after continuous downpours lashed the city, triggering widespread urban flooding, and severe power outages, Geo News reported.

Karachi continues to face a severe electricity crisis after recent heavy rainfall, as many neighborhoods remain without power even two days later. Citizens in several localities are enduring extreme difficulties because of long outages,

Pakistan declared a public holiday in Karachi as monsoon rains battered the city, causing floods, resulting in deaths, and widespread disruption. Seven people died, leading schools and offices to close.

The Sindh government announced that all public and private schools in Karachi will remain closed on Wednesday due to forecasts of further heavy rainfall.
