00:00Yes, Sardar Sarfaraz sahib, please tell us, the rain forecast was from today, it was from yesterday only,

00:05so what indication is this giving, plus how many more rains are we talking about in Karachi,

00:10the number is coming from 150 to 200, is it correct?

00:13Will it be less than this or it can be more than this?

00:16Yes, thank you very much.

00:18See, the prediction was that it will not be possible after the midnight of 26th,

00:23but we can say a little, 2-3 hours, the rain that happened in Karachi on the night before.

00:28Okay.

00:29So, it is a strong system, actually there is a deep depression even now,

00:34this Indian, Rajasthan, West Rajasthan, we can say, it has come closer to us than yesterday,

00:40so it has taken intensity from yesterday and from the next stage of depression,

00:45the deep depression is in that stage.

00:46Allahu Akbar.

00:47That is, there is a very low pressure of air, and it is obvious that its movement is westward,

00:52south-westward, so it will gradually move towards us,

00:56it will come close to us, and from here, the whole of Sindh, especially southern Sindh,

01:00which is adjoining the Caribbean, it will sweep from here and move towards the areas of Baluchistan.

01:05So, the possibility is that there are very strong rains in Karachi, Hudin, Thatta, Sujawa,

01:11in all the districts of Sindh, there are good, strong rains.

01:14So, is there any threat of urban flooding?

01:17Yes, there is a complete threat of urban flooding,

01:19because long before, you saw that what started last night,

01:23now gradually there will be an increase in its intensity,

01:26today evening or tonight, it is expected to be fast,

01:29tomorrow and day after tomorrow, all three days, I mean, there are gaps,

01:33but yes, yes, this process will continue at least from 31st August,

01:38and sometimes you will see light showers, sometimes mid-day showers,

01:41and sometimes you will see very strong, foggy rains.

01:44Sardarji, Sardarji, I am seeing that you are also very busy on this basis,

01:48you are also showing places, secondly, you have also given a briefing to the Minister,

01:52what was decided in that, what did you tell him about the arrangements?

01:57See, the arrangements are his, I mean, it is totally mandated and he does it himself,

02:03I told him what I am talking to you, that in Karachi,

02:07that yes, so much rainfall is expected,

02:09it can be 150 to 200 mm in Karachi, and the other districts,

02:13especially Thatta, Sujawal, Badin, Tharparkar, Umerkot,

02:17I mean, all the districts below Hyderabad, Tandoor Mohammad Khan also comes there,

02:22and Hyderabad itself too, and all these districts,

02:25there is a lot of rainfall in them.

02:27And on Badin and Thatta-Sujawal sites, it can go up to 300-400 mm plus.

02:32Yes.

02:33Obviously, when it reaches above the Arabian Sea in the south of Karachi,

02:39then the system will start picking up more moisture.

02:42Now, especially, it is a very dense system, so,

02:45in a way, it is like, if it is light,

02:49if there are a few clouds of quantity, then it can go here and there, but…

02:52Mr. Sardar, do you remember the rainfall of 2022,

02:55and then the water that had been standing for a long time in Sindh,

02:57is there any danger of that system being there,

03:00due to so much rainfall?

03:02No, that kind of, no, actually, in 2022,

03:06there were 2-3 spills in a row,

03:09which had been going on for about a week,

03:12and as a result, there was a lot of rainfall.

03:14It is not of that intensity,

03:16but for the southern Sindh,

03:1819-20, you can say,

03:20it is almost of the same intensity,

03:22but after this,

03:24there can be some gap,

03:27and you may remember that,

03:30there was a lot of rainfall in the central and upper Sindh.

03:32Yes, yes, I remember.

03:33As a result of this.

03:34Okay, Mr. Sardar, we will be in contact with you all the time.

03:37Thank you so much for being with us.

03:39You often used to ask,

03:41why is it not raining?

03:42Now it is raining a lot.

03:43Yes, it is raining a lot.

03:44And see, in this situation,

03:45you have to be very careful,

03:46so try not to leave the house unnecessarily,

03:48and these electronic devices,

03:50these electronic items,

03:51you should also be careful while touching them,

03:53because most of the time,

03:54even in the walls,

03:55even in your houses,

03:56water comes in.
