The number of deaths due to the rain is expected to rise, as three children have already lost lives in separate incidents of roof collapse and electrocution.
Many areas, such as Landhi, Korangi and Liaqatabad are still without electricity and it is expected that some time will be taken before things can return to normal.
The CM has taken a notice of the situation in Karachi and relief work in parts of the city is expected to begin soon.
Karachi Commissioner Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui had declared an emergency in the city following flooding on roads caused by a spell of monsoon rain.
