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.
