KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a warning that Karachi and lower Sindh can suffer from urban flooding in the days to come, as the fourth looming monsoon spell may wreak more havoc in the province than the earlier three spells. The institution predicted that the fourth spell of monsoon rain in Karachi, which is forecast from August 7-8, can result in more rain than the previous three spells. A low lying pressure system, formed in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to enter Sindh on August 6. Last week, the Pakistan Army was called in to help the local administration in managing and dealing with the urban flooding crisis in Karachi. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the “Army [was] called to assist civil administration for managing the urban flooding situation in Karachi”.
