Heavy rains lashed several areas of Sindh, including Hyderabad, for the umpteenth time this month, submerging whatever was left of cities and forcing the provincial government to declare a rain emergency.
The rainwater in Hyderabad flooded streets and entered houses, bringing life to a standstill.

How can the heads of the Govt just sit and watch ? All their families are in palaces or in Dubai and UK. Every year same story with worse consequences !

When all tax money is wasted on protocol and stolen by politicians, this is what happens.

Unfortunately, this is a common view every year during monsoon season in all of the South Asian countries in general and India, Burma, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sikkim and Sri Lanka in particular.

You created your own suffering by voting for PPP since its inception enjoy the rain. As your mighty leader little Bhutto said more rain more water.
