KARACHI: Floods have caused disaster in many of the cities of Punjab. A huge area of the province has been affected and it is predicted that soon enough the same conditions will be seen in other provinces of Pakistan. The government’s response to this urgent matter has been extremely slow.
The reason for these floods is due to the lack of dams.
