A Sad Tale of Sinking City

Karachi, the biggest metropolitan, with the highest population. It has one of the busiest seaports. It’s the premier Industrial and Financial hub. According to Wikipedia it contributes to 20% of total GDP. So ideally it should have been the governments’ first priority towards its urban development. But NO!! In our country where politicians are only here to fill their personal bank accounts. They have Zero concern for any structural development in one of the biggest cities of our country. In just a single monsoon spell the whole city has turned into venice. No Government official is there to claim the responsibility. No Provincial or Central Government is ready to take charge. WHY????

Over the years the land grabbers were having a field day. Projects built on natural rain drainages. Illegal slums built around nallahs. And the result is what Karachiites are suffering since yesterday. These images (From Google) are self explanatory about the plight of poor awam.
Next time a member of any political party comes knocking our doors for votes should be treated with chappals to say the least. These politicians play the religion card, lingual card, regional card but we all suffer in unity in the end. Time has come we all unite against them.
