KARACHI: The prevailing heatwave in Karachi has left over 700 people dead in last three days, as per latest figures available on Tuesday evening.
Earlier, medics battled to treat victims after a state of emergency was declared in hospitals.
In Karachi, the Met department forecasts maximum temperatures to reach as high as 43 degrees Celsius over the next 24 hours, with chances of rain-thundershower and dust storm during the evening and night.

Eight to 10 people have also died in other parts of southern Sindh, senior provincial health official Sabir Memon told AFP earlier. ”More than 450 people have died due to heat stroke in the past three days.”

Semi Jamali, a doctor at Jinnah Hospital said they had treated about 3,000 patients suffering from heat stroke.

“More than 200 of them were either received dead or died in hospital,” Jamali told AFP. Another 67 people died in another hospital, the Civil Hospital, an official there said.

Edhi Welfare Organisation, said their two morgues in the city had received more than 400 corpses.
“More than 400 dead bodies have so far been received in our two mortuaries in past three days,” Edhi spokesperson Anwar Kazmi told AFP.
“The mortuaries have reached capacity.”

In Karachi, electricity shortages crippled the water supply system, hampering the pumping of millions of gallons of water to consumers, the state-run water utility said.

Met Office said temperatures hit 43 Celsius in Karachi on Sunday and 49 Celsius in Turbat, close to the Iranian border.
Despite the increasing number of deaths being reported in the provincial capital, neither government officials nor any other organisation has made any arrangements for collecting and collating the data of the death toll.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif issued directives to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to immediately take necessary measures to deal with the prevalent situation in Sindh, where the tenacious heat wave continues to claim lives. The NDMA chairman has asked the Karachi corps commander to assist the authority in this regard.

On the other hand, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) of Sindh has requested the Pakistan Army and Pakistan Rangers to render all possible services and assistance to alleviate the suffering of the people.

However, residents of Karachi breathed a sigh of relief when their neighbourhoods received light showers on Monday afternoon.
Dark clouds descended on the entire city but did little to break the heat of the past few days. The light showers only managed to make the mercury drop from 41 degrees Celsius to 38 degrees. The areas that received some rain included North Karachi, Buffer Zone, New Karachi, Federal B Area and North Nazimabad, followed by Gulshan-e-Iqbal and PECHS by evening.
But there is hope. According to the director for the Institute of Meteorology and geophysics, Abdul Rashid, the city will have more rain in this week. “Rains will hit Karachi properly by Wednesday while light showers are expected on Tuesday,” he said.

Govt mulls use of cloud seeding technology for artificial rains in Karachi
With an aim to generate artificial rainfall in parts of Sindh witnessing an intense heatwave, the government is now mulling the use of cloud seeding technology, Express Newsreported.
Talking to the media, Director General Ports and Shipping Abdul Malik Ghauri said all arrangements had been made in this regard. However, Ghauri said a meeting of all stakeholders would evolve consensus on the matter before any decision is taken.
Further, Ghauri said that while the ministry is mulling over the idea, it would not be possible before July 1 due to technical reasons.
The meeting was attended by representatives of the civil aviation, Karachi Metropolitan Corporation, maritime agency, meteorological department, business community and Karachi commissioner.
Ghauri that they would seek assistance from the aviation division of the Pakistan Army to materialise the idea.
In cloud seeding technology, a rocket propelled by sugar is fired at the clouds to generate rains. In this scenario, the government would like to acquire 60 to 65 millimeter of rain from clouds some 2,500 to 3,000 feet about the ground. Sindh receives 176 millimeter of rain in an entire year.
Ghauri went on to highlight how Pakistan’s neighbouring countries now have designated institutions to study ‘cloud seeding’ technology.
Meanwhile, speaking to The Express Tribune, an official of the metrological office, Abdul Qayyum Bhutto confirmed that a decision on the subject has not been made yet and talks are under way.
“The system is not only costly but also has unforeseen environmental effects,” he said.

کہا جاتا ہے کہ جگہ وہی جلتی ہے جہاں آگ لگتی ہے۔کراچی میں 700 سے زائد افراد گرمی اورلوڈشیڈنگ سے زندگی کی بازی ہار گئے اور سندھ حکومت بجائے ان کے لواحقین کے دردکواپنادردسمجھنے کے عیاشیاں کررہی ہے۔پہلے سائیں قائم علی شاہ نے افطار ڈنر رکھا دیا جس پر تنقید کے بعد اس کو کینسل کردیا گیا لیکن آج سینکڑوں آموں کی پیٹیاں اسمبلی میں پہنچائی گئیں اور اراکینِ اسمبلی میں تقسیم کی گئیں۔گویا یہ پیغام دیا گیا کہ 700 لوگ مرگئے تو کیا ہوا؟؟جس کے پاس اے سی،جرنیٹراور یو پی ایس لگوانے کے پیسے نہیں ہیں اور وہ غریب گرمی سے مرجاتا ہے تو یہ اس کا حق تھا۔اس نے مرنا ہی تھا۔اس سے یہ تو ثابت ہو گیا کہ عوامی نمائندوں کوعوام کے مرنے سے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا اور فرق پڑے ہی کیوں؟؟؟ان اراکین کو بھی تو پتا ہے کہ قوم بیوقوف ہے۔اگلے الیکشن تک سب کو یہ ہلاکتیں،قتل و غارت گری اور ظلم بھول جائیں گے۔پھرہم ایک سڑک،نالی یا نوکری پر بک جائیں گے اور ووٹ انہیں کو دیں گے۔۔۔افسوس صدافسوس
