Karachi received the ultimate Eid gift this week, the much-awaited monsoon rains of the season. The happiness was paired with rain Selfies and crunchy pakoras.
However, the joy of delightful weather soon faded with power outages, flooded streets and traffic jams.
We have to admit that this is what Monsoon showers in the City of Lights always seem to be. The citizens await the rainy season to get a break from the scorching heat.
However, it soon turns out to be a bane rather than a boon for the town.
After effects of rain are so hateful #KarachiRain #karachiweather #Sanitation

It all raises a big question about the development of the city!
#Karachi rains.As usual city swamped, roads flooded, no drainage, no infrastructure. Where is #Karachi's development & its share of revenue?
