At least eight people have lost their lives in various rain-related incidents as heavy downpours continued to lash the city since Tuesday morning, disrupting daily life and crippling civic infrastructure.
The intermittent heavy rain caused urban flooding in several areas, leaving roads submerged and the city’s routine activities paralyzed.
According to reports, four people were killed in Gulistan-e-Jauhar Block 12 when a wall collapsed. Two others died from electrocution in North Karachi and Defence, while another young man lost his life to electrocution in Orangi Town.
Additionally, one person was killed after a fire broke out at a petrol pump in Malir during the rain.
