It seems as though Pakistan is being put up against one challenge after the other, the newest being urban flooding born out of what is being described as an abnormal spell of rainfall during this monsoon season. Cities across the country have been reporting infrastructural damages, deaths and a population that has been made immobile due to unpredictable levels of rainfall, even during the monsoon season. Record levels of rainfall are being reported in cities like Karachi, collecting up to 142 millimetres in total. Several regions in Punjab are affected, much like KP and Gilgit-Baltistan which are also reporting landslides on top of everything. Research and development must go into flood relief so that more innovative and permanent solutions can be employed.
