Pertinent to note that Karachi, Pakistan’s most populated city, houses people from all walks of life, has been battling with one of the worst monsoon rain spell that killed many and destroyed peorperties as well.
As the city and its already tenuous systems shut down every year, citizens face an uphill climb in just getting through their days. The very first hazard the monsoon rains reveal is harmful potholes, evident on roads across the city. During monsoon season, these potholes become a mosquito hatchery which results in vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue.
