Karachi’s drainage system is being remodeled following devastating rains in the previous monsoon spell, which played havoc with the city because of choking of storm water drains and major nullahs causing urban flooding.
The experts put forward their recommendations advising the authorities restoration of the rain drains and storm water drainage system in its original shape by removing the structures flanked by nullahs.
