The Sindh government has announced a rain emergency in the province, resulting in shortened office hours in Karachi for the upcoming Friday. The decision, aimed at mitigating the impact of predicted rainfall, underscores the administration’s commitment to public safety.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department’s recent forecast predicts rain and potential hailstorms across Sindh from February 29 to March 2, prompting proactive measures by local authorities.

In anticipation, the Sindh Chief Minister, Murad Ali Shah, led a meeting to review rain preparedness, highlighting the situation’s urgency. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation has been mobilized, cancelling leave and deploying resources to clear drainage systems.

Acknowledging the unusual climate patterns, Mayor Siddiqui noted the deployment of heavy machinery to address potential blockages, reflecting a broader recognition of climate change’s impact.

In response to the forecast, Chief Minister Shah declared a province-wide rain emergency, alerting essential services and advising residents to limit outdoor activities. He anticipates multiple rain episodes affecting Karachi and other parts of Sindh, with Karachi expected to receive significant rainfall.

Efforts to manage the anticipated water influx include the construction of dams and enhanced drainage measures. The Chief Minister has also directed traffic authorities to ensure smooth vehicular movement during the rains, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to disaster management and public safety.
