In some parts of Sadar, the sanitary staff remained busy throughout the day draining the water. The roads and streets around Tower are yet to receive attention officials’ attention. Saddar seemed the worst-hit area. The road in front of the Saddar Fire Brigade and Rainbow Centre was submerged. Ankle-deep water was standing in the market areas in front of Empress Market, opposite Jahangir Park. The low-lying area of Urdu Bazaar and some streets off Burnes Road were filled with stagnant water. The newly constructed New M. A. Jinnah Road was, however, not affected by the rain due to its proper sewerage system.

Complaints about water accumulation on roads were also received from Streets 14, 16 and 17, East Street of Defence Phase-I, Zamzama and Neelum Colony.

The residents of Lyari Town complained of poor sewerage and added that water had accumulated on Fida Hussain Shaika Road, Ahmad Shah Bukhari Road, Karabhai Karinji Road and Slaughter House Road.

The main University Road from the Civic Center to the New Town police station was submerged. After hectic efforts the sanitary staff cleared water by late afternoon from this busy road from Civic Centre to Askari Park.
