After three spells of heavy downpour in Karachi on Tuesday, the city’s streets were submerged, leaving citizens stranded and disrupting transportation.
Countless vehicles and motorcycles broke down due to the flooding.
It has now been revealed that dozens of vehicles remain abandoned on Karachi’s roads, particularly along the stretch from National Stadium to Civic Center.
Many citizens were forced to leave their vehicles behind due to fuel shortages and mechanical failures, choosing instead to walk home.
Thousands of commuters returning from offices were seen standing for hours beside their stalled bikes and cars. Mechanics across the city faced massive rush, charging exorbitant amounts to provide services.
Reports from Jinnah Hospital indicated that patients discharged from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) were unable to leave for home.
Patients who were discharged as early as 6 pm were still stranded at the hospital late into the night due to flooded roads.
