The Government Girls Secondary School in New Karachi's Sector 11-D is, however, still reeling from the destruction left in the monsoon's wake. Several weeks past, the school premises and its surrounding area remain flooded with stagnant water. Expected to ignore the filth that threatens to suffocate them, students make their way to school hopping on bricks and stones laid out by the school administration so as to avoid trudging through the stagnant water. At the same time, other diseases lurk in the garbage and stagnant water that pollutes the school. The school's in-charge, Zainab Ansari, told The Express Tribune that the school administration had informed the union council's office about these conditions.
