Islamabad/Karachi: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday postponed his one-day visit to the metropolitan city where he had planned to discuss how a heatwave took away over a thousand lives, including more than 15 people who died in Sindh alone.
The reason as to why the visit was postponed remains unknown, however sources said that the Premier had a lot of important meetings scheduled in Islamabad.
Further, PM Nawaz is now expected to visit Karachi on Wednesday, July 1 to discuss the heatwave aftermath and other issues.
