JI president underscored that keeping the devastation in view, an emergency should be declared in the city and all the authorities must be called on board to combat the situation.

While suggesting the solution to tackle the flooding in Karachi, he said that the nullahs must be separated from the sewerage lines adding that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has approximately 10,000 employees but they were not witnessed working during the recent falls.

He also alleged that the body has fully maintained machinery to combat the situation but wasn’t seen on board in the past few rain-hit days.

Hafiz Naeem also opined that the political parties are responsible for the situation in the city as they have built projects on the sewage nullahs.
