KARACHI – Heavy monsoon rain and thunderstorms led to water accumulation in various parts of Karachi, along with causing traffic delays in the affected regions.
Sindh capital came to standstill on Tuesday as relentless heavy rains unleashed chaos across the metropolis. Streets turned into rivers, traffic ground to a crawl, and power outages left thousands in darkness. Commuters were forced to battle waist-deep water and bumper-to-bumper jams on nearly every major road.
Karachi Traffic Police warned drivers to exercise extreme caution, slow down, and keep a safe distance, but key routes.

Authorities cautioned residents to brace for more showers in the coming days, warning that low-lying areas could face worsening floods and traffic nightmares.
