Incompetence. Lost opportunity to collect and store millions of gallons of rainwater in underground water storage caverns. This is done in major cities worldwide.

Karachi should be a separate province. Away from the stranglehold of ethnic and provincial politics. If that does not work ....

What really annoys me is that the dams are overflowing and the streets are flooded but still I need to pay Rs. 5,200 for a water tanker as there hasn’t been a drop of water in the line for over a year. Not a drop! Why is the tanker mafia allowed to flourish even in these times?!?

My basement which I use as a workshop where I restore furniture is flooded to the roof and I can’t even pump out the water as the water in the street is higher than my entrance. Why is there no accountability ever? Why is there so much corruption in Pakistan and it’s ok? Why?

Why Bilawal Bhutto is sitting dumb quiet?

Karachiites deserve better. This cosmopolitan city has a colorful history and needs to be restored quickly. All levels of govts. must put their heads together and act now.

Only Announcing Enough Is Enough will not work. Step out Karachiites. This is your best time.

Karachi resembles Singapore

Military, please take over Karachi. As a matter of fact the entire Sindh

Stop paying taxes till EVERY issues are solved

Enough of fooling the karachiites. But are the ref of the Pakistanis less courageous and resilient. All the courage has to be given to the people of karachi. Save some courage for the residents of the rest of Pakistan please.

No linguistics prejudices please. Karachi is a mini- Pakistan, it is not Mini- Sindh, let the Federal Govt take care of Sindh in general, and Karachi in particular. The President must enact an Ordinance and impose Governor rule immediately.

Its people fault. They kept exploding population dispite knowing Karachi cant sustain growing population leaps and bounds

@Chrís Dăn Mr. Bilawal Zardari is busy with rehearsal for next laughable script-reading.

@Omar Qadri Mr. Omar Qadri, " What really annoys me is that the dams are overflowing and the streets are flooded but still I need to pay Rs. 5,200 for a water tanker as there hasn’t been a drop of water in the line for over a year. Not a drop! Why is the tanker mafia allowed to flourish even in these times?!? " Tanker Mafia is purely related to the most corrupt and criminal small regional political party PPP.

@Bhaijan Mr. Bhaijan, Karachi is neither Mini-Pakistan nor Mini-Sindh. Karachi is Karachi which feeds whole Pakistan and gets injustice and discrimination.

CM Mural Ali Shah resign as being incompetent, and show some resilience period.

A lion needs mot to be resilient and suffer in silence... its only the prey’s who do

Problems of karachi wont be fixed easily.people of karachi be facilitated to settle and live normal life outskirts of Islamabad.

@Omar Qadri ppp 2 blame

No, I am not resilient because I am drowning. Who is responsible?

Then stop voting for PPP and MQM, you get what you pay(Vote) for

@Omar Qadri Ask Bilawal that question next time he’s up there screaming, being all that.

Yeah we all express our public grief and shared pain, but ask yourselves, what am I doing to make things better. Public officials haven’t changed in 70 years. Why this sudden consternation at them.? Did we imagine this could happen? That it would be this bad? After all NDMA & PDMA warned us via sms. Did we take it seriously? So there’s that. Hindsight is 20/20 & it’s the usual whining blame game. Suggest practical steps people, roll up your sleeves & get involved with being the solution. Otherwise after this venting, as our feathers dry off, and the bad taste in our mouth recedes, we will shrug it off till the next monsoon ... or earlier ...

with all due respect to Karachiites. We are treated the way we want to be treated. We don't speak out for the true rights without getting political. We will be ruled and eaten by these politicians again and again. Hope this time we all don't get busy in our lives n businesses as usual soon as the water recedes. Other very important thing is, urbanization needs to be stopped in Karachi until there is a mechanism and of course and better life opportunities in rural areas . This urbanization is over loading Karachi including crimes and land grabbing. "YEH TOH CHAP DENA BHAI"
