Karachi Heavy Rain Causes Widespread Waterlogging and Disruption

Heavy rain from Tuesday into Wednesday caused chaos in parts of Karachi, marking the beginning of what many are already calling the Karachi Floods 2025. Streams and storm drains flooded, sending water rushing into many neighbourhoods.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said the rain might continue for another 24 hours. They expect temperatures to stay between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius, with humidity at 92%. Winds blew from the southeast at around 15 kilometres per hour on Wednesday morning. Concerns grow as the effects of Karachi’s 2025 floods continue to impact the city’s infrastructure.

The PMD also reported that a depression lingers about 60 kilometres west of Karachi. This could turn into a low-pressure area soon, bringing more rain clouds over the city.

Rain caused the water level of Thado Dam to rise. Flooding appeared near the M-9 Motorway close to Jamali Bridge, where water reached the road. Officials clarified that the overflow came from the Lath River, not the dam, amid the ongoing situation worsened by Karachi’s Floods 2025.

The Karachi commissioner sent teams to deal with the flood. On the chief secretary’s orders, the authorities broke part of the motorway’s middle wall to let water pass. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah ordered the road cleared quickly to restore traffic after the recent floods in Karachi.

Sindh government spokesman Nadir Nabeel Gabol said 30 pumps are draining water, with more added soon. He said Shaheed Bhutto Road, under construction, was cut to let water flow. He reassured that the road had no cracks and that the project is overseen by an international firm that will not allow negligence. As Karachi Floods 2025 worsen, monitoring of such infrastructure becomes crucial.

Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab checked waterlogging at Nagan Chowrangi. He said rescue teams worked citywide and set up four relief centres, which were critical during the Karachi Floods 2025. He confirmed over 200 people were evacuated. Rescue 1122 reported rescuing 15 children, one elderly man, and four women, with efforts ongoing near the Lyari and Malir rivers.

Water flooded several neighbourhoods, including FB Area, Shafiq Colony, Essa Nagri, Nasar Basti, Sohrab Goth, Hasan Nauman Colony, Machhar Colony, Lassi Para, and Yaar Mohammad Goth, trapping residents inside homes.

The mayor denied reports of flooding in Saadi Town, calling them fake news on social media. However, videos from the morning showed the area submerged, illustrating the challenges faced in Karachi Floods 2025.

PMD rainfall data showed Surjani Town received the most rain at 129.6 millimetres. North Karachi had 72.2mm, Korangi 70.5mm, Defence Phase VII 70mm, and Gulshan-e-Hadeed 69mm. Lesser amounts fell at PAF Faisal Base (55mm), Nazimabad (54mm), Keamari (52mm), and others.

Traffic police closed the Korangi Causeway and nearby roads due to strong water currents from the Malir River. They redirected traffic to Jam Sadiq Bridge and Qayyumabad. A road from Teen Hatti to Guru Mandir collapsed due to faulty sewer work, causing more problems associated with the ongoing floods in Karachi 2025.

Waterlogging blocked traffic in many areas, including National Stadium, Civic Centre, NIPA, Expo Centre, Kala Pul, and Shahrah-e-Faisal. Traffic police worked hard to manage the flow despite the pressure. The ongoing Karachi Floods 2025 emphasise the importance of such efforts.

The Karachi commissioner ordered all schools closed on Wednesday. Dow University Hospital postponed exams, with new dates to be announced later, in response to the Karachi Floods 2025 crisis, which disrupted normal activities.

MQM-Pakistan leader Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui blamed the Sindh government and local bodies for the disaster. He called it proof of poor management and warned of heavy losses as the Lyari and Malir rivers flooded homes. He also accused provincial authorities of allowing encroachments on storm drains. He called the collapse of Bhutto Road a symbol of corruption, criticising “non-local” governance in Karachi amid the 2025 flood crisis.
