Pakistan is already stuck in a vicious cycle of several crises and now the rains of Karachi and other parts of it are becoming a nuisance. As Pakistan is one of the underdeveloped countries of the world, it is unable to cope with any kind of environmental calamity. People including Shahid Afridi criticizes Sindh govt for the huge loss.
Recent rains in Karachi also affected the masses so much that even former cricketer Shahid Afridi criticizes Sindh govt and shares his sentiments on the issue.
کراچی کے حالات پر اب چپ رہنا، مجرمانہ خاموشی ہے۔دل خون کے آنسو روتا ہے @KElectricPk صبح سے لائٹ نہیں،سڑکیں ٹوٹ پھوٹ کا شکار، گلیاں پانی سے بھر گئیں، لوگ ڈوب رہے، گٹر ابل رہے ہیں اور کچرا بستیاں نگل رہا ہےلوکل صوبائی اور وفاقی حکومتیں مکمل ناکام ہو چکی ہیں۔ #WhoWillSaveKarachi pic.twitter.com/39fximhWgu

The legendary cricketer said, “Silence on the situation in Karachi now is criminal. The heart cries with tears of blood There is no light since morning, roads are damaged, streets are flooded, people are drowning, gutters are boiling with swallowing garbage. Local, provincial, and federal governments have failed miserably.”
کاش دنیا کے کسی میٹروپولیٹن سے ہی سیکھ لیں، مصنوعی جھیلیں بنا لیں۔ کیا یہ ہمارا قصور ہے کہ رہنے کے لئے اس شہر کا انتخاب کیا، یہاں ٹیکس دیتے ہیں لیکن بدلے میں انتظامیہ کون سی ذمہ داری پوری کرتی ہے؟ کراچی کو کچراچی بنانے والوں کے گریبان پر ہاتھ کون ڈالے گا؟ #WhoWillSaveKarachi https://t.co/2VpaUozk97

He added, “I wish we could learn from any metropolitan city of the world and create artificial lakes. We pay taxes here but what responsibility does the administration fulfill in return? Who will punish the people who have turned the city into the garbage?”
Well, the current situation that Pakistan is facing is only due to the incompetence of the people in power. Moreover, the political instability especially in Karachi; the tug of war between MQM, PSP, and PPP has led the denizens in a deep hole of crises.

Afridi rightly asserted about the ongoing upheaval and asked, “Who will save Karachi?” People in the city of lights are living a miserable life. Adding injury to insult, many officials remained quiet about the issue. Moreover, the K-Electric has shown a lackadaisical performance throughout the years. Resultantly, many in the city are deprived of electricity.
The wrath of warm summers on one side, heavy rains on another, and the negligence of government on top, truly a pathetic scenario in Karachi.
Here’s how people have reacted to Shahid Afridi’s tweet.
صدر پاکستان پی ٹی آئی کا کراچی سے گورنر سندھ کراچی سے پی ٹی آئی کے 16 ایم این اے کراچی سے وزیر اعظم کراچی سے پھر بھی کراچی کا یہ حال ہے تو شرم سندھ حکومت کے ساتھ نیازی کی وفاقی حکومت کو بھی سندھ حکومت سے زیادہ شرم آنی چاہیے

“The President of Pakistan is from Karachi; Governor Sindh is from Karachi; 16 PTI MNAs are from Karachi. The center should be ashamed along with the Sindh government,” said one user.
شاہد بھائی پہلے سندھ کو برباد کیا پی پی والوں نے اور اب کراچی کی لوٹ مار کرے گی

“Shahid Bhai, first PPP ruined Sindh and they are doing the same in Karachi.”
آج کراچی کا بہت بورا حال ہے سیاست دان کیا کررہے ان کو یہ بربادی نظر نہیں آتی صرف لوٹ مارنے کے لئے تیار ہیں

“Karachi is in a very bad situation today. What are the politicians doing? They don’t see this ruin. They are only prepared to loot.”
To conclude, the situation of Karachi is a collective failure of the federal and provincial governments. Hopefully, the authorities will take the required action and improve the situation in the largest city of Pakistan.
