Where the so called educated people of karachi criticize in their fancy english over what ever has been done in karachi. In four years the mayor constructs countless number of fly overs, roads and underpasses. I have seen bridges being completed in 3-4 months. Where as prevous govt used to take ages. Encrochment is not currently the responsibility of the mayor since the police does not report to him. Which is also teh reason for traffic jams. As it is a reality that even after the construction of a huge parking plaza people at regal and saddar areas are still allowed to park on the roads while the parking buildings are empty... and about Mayors work on health and amenities. do ur home before leaving a comment.. i feel sad.

Countries that go through such natural incidents should be well-armed in dealing with these sudden problems. For instance, the remarkable drainage system in U. K. Earthquakes are a common occurrence in Japan. Therefore, their homes are built simply by wood and their interior decorations are done using natural things like woods, bamboos etc. Hence, the number of people getting crushed under heavy debris is tremendously reduced. A country should first understand its weaknesses and then develop such means to overcome those weaknesses for its welfare.

Karachi is not prepared for any kind of Natural calamity or unfortunate incident. CDGK should own the responsibility of almost flooded city after rain. There were no drains with the underpasses newly built. They get filled up fast blocking traffic and causing lots of trouble. Disaster management should be included in curriculum and Government of Pakistan should train people to combat situations like this in future.
