Celebrities Raise Concerns Over Karachi’s Grim Situation After Rains
After the recent monsoon spell, Karachi’s infrastructure has once again toppled with citizens left with little to no help. Seeing the city’s grim situation, celebrities took to social media to raise concerns about the city.
“I’m torn. I love, love the rain but it kills me to see what my city and its people have to go through, after. It’s heartbreaking. It’s so unfair,” tweeted Ayesha Omar.

“Seeing the footage of Karachi underwater and my heart goes out to all affected. I can’t say I’m not surprised that this has happened yet again. A wake-up call? No, it’s a problem that needs to be addressed period! We need to fix our beautiful city,” Wasim Akram wrote.

Beywafa star Ali Rehman Khan also took to Twitter and shared the same sentiments, “Karachi goes through the same bittersweet predicament every time it rains, every single year for as long as I can remember. How does the largest city in Pakistan have the worst planning & development in the country? We all know the answer, we just wish for it to change.”
