00:00Rainfall in Lahore, drunken areas in Zeraiyaba,
00:03Rainwater is present in different places due to the lack of precipitation.
00:07We know the situation of the city at the moment from our representative Ulfat Mughal.
00:11Ulfat, please tell us.
00:15Yes, of course.
00:16Rain has stopped.
00:17Many hours have passed.
00:18But still, if you talk about it,
00:20there is water in the drunken areas.
00:23Right now, I am present in the LDA-Tajpura scheme,
00:26which is most affected by the rain.
00:28Rain has been recorded here the most.
00:31The main roads are mostly drained of water.
00:34As time has passed, the water has already been drained.
00:38But in the drunken areas,
00:41there is still a lot of water present.
00:44BASA has also targeted the main roads,
00:48where the media was present.
00:50If we go inside the streets,
00:52as it is, there is a lot of water in the parks in front of people's houses.
00:57Due to which, it is still very difficult for people to get out of their homes.
01:01BASA has worked.
01:03But the way the claims were being made by BASA,
01:06the preparations that were made by the government,
01:08the instructions that were given,
01:10that work has not been done.
01:11There is still a lot of water present.
01:13And if more rain falls,
01:15then people can face more difficulties.
01:18This is the LDA Block No. 1 of the Tajpura scheme.
01:21If we talk about Block No. 2,
01:23there is still a lot of water present.
01:25BASA has not been able to start its work of draining the water.
01:30However, the main road of Tajpura,
01:32Path Chowk,
01:33some water has been drained there.
01:35BASA's vehicles are still present here.
01:37But there is no complete water here either.
01:40If we talk about the streets,
01:43there is still water present there,
01:46which has not been arranged to be drained.
01:48And it seems that BASA's team will not go there either.
01:52As you are saying,
01:54many hours have passed,
01:56but the water has not been able to be drained.
01:58The water is still present in the streets.
02:00Tell us about this area.
02:02What kind of people live here?
02:05What class of people are there?
02:07Is there anyone to raise their voice for them?
02:09Or has the matter reached the upper class?
02:11Did the Prime Minister notice that
02:13the water has been present here for many hours?
02:16This is the area of middle class people.
02:19This is the area of self-made people.
02:21That's why the water is still present here.
02:23If this was a post area,
02:25then the emergency would have been implemented by now.
02:28BASA also had access to the main road.
02:31BASA also worked there.
02:33If we talk about the lower class,
02:35these are self-made people.
02:37Most of them are strong and hard-working people.
02:39Because of this, they are still drowning in the water.
02:42Because of this, BASA did not launch the operation
02:44that it should have done.
02:46This is the area where the previous government
02:48had planned to build an underground water tank.
02:52But it could not be completed.
02:54Because of this, whenever it rains,
02:56the whole of Lahore gets flooded.
02:58Tell us which other areas in Lahore
03:00are similar to this area?
03:08The area of Ghulbar,
03:10the area of Kazafi Stadium,
03:12and some other areas,
03:14the water is present there.
03:16In some areas of the city,
03:18the water is present there as well.
03:20But the water is mostly present
03:22in areas where the drainage system
03:24is better.
03:26In areas where the drainage system
03:28is not better,
03:30the water is present there as well.
03:32As you can see behind me,
03:34this is one of the areas where the water is present.
03:36Whenever it rains,
03:38this area is always flooded.
03:40The workers here have to face
03:42a lot of problems.
03:48Can you tell us
03:50about the situation
03:52in this area?
03:56Assalam-o-Alaikum.
03:58Whenever it rains,
04:00this is the situation?
04:02Yes, this is the situation.
04:04People have entered their homes.
04:06No one is doing anything.
04:08There is a lot of pollution.
04:10This is the situation
04:12whenever it rains?
04:14Yes, this is the situation
04:16for the past three years.
04:18Whenever it rains,
04:20this is the situation.
04:22We have to wait for two hours
04:24to go home.
04:26You are talking to your friends
04:28and they are telling
04:30that this is the situation
04:32whenever it rains.
04:34Can you tell us
04:36about the situation
04:38in this area?
04:42When it started raining in the morning,
04:44there was no electricity
04:46for many hours.
04:48Now there is electricity,
04:50but there is a risk
04:52that there will be a current
04:54in the water.
04:56There is electricity in this area
04:58but there was no electricity
05:00for many hours.
05:02There is water in this area
05:04so there is a risk
05:06that there will be an accident.
05:08The government should operate
05:10in this area.
05:12Children and women
05:14have to leave their homes
05:16for prayers.
05:18They cannot go to the mosque.
05:20Thank you.
