In Karachi, 25 people have lost their lives in the rain related incidents during the current devastating and record breaking spell of monsoon rains.
The devastating rains have left most parts of the city flooded with water and no electricity while a large number of people were stranded due to roads becoming impassable and all the underpasses flooded with rain water.
SSP East Sajjid Sadozai relayed three people drowned near the Lyari Expressway within the limits of Sachal police station. The incident occurred at around 9:00pm when a person and his son drowned.
A local tried to rescue the two but ended up drowning himself too. Police and rescue teams have launched a search operation to find and fish their bodies out.
The police said at least seven people, four children and three women among them, were killed when a wall collapsed on them in Saima Square in Gulistan-e-Jauhar. In a similar incident, a person was killed in Ferozabad neighbourhood when a wall came down on him.
