Karachi is lucky that the storm moved to balochistan.
Re: 228 killed in Karachi
^ Is this the latest spin people have come up with that the deaths due to rain are only a fraction? Why did some political party need gun toting 'guards' at Edhi for controlling dead bodies? I really wish parties can forget the politicising of such tragedies and get busy in providing actual help to the suffered ones.
Like I said, no idea whats behind this controversy...
But it's sad even such tragedies keep ppl divided and attention diverted over controversies and older accounts etc

these guys are running scared, thus the paranoia. Watching these ministers make stupid excuses while hundreds have died and more left homeless makes u wonder who the hell gave them these jobs. Situation is pathetic, ppl are dying and many have no future while Sindh govt is blaming the meterological dept or edhi.

Just a clarification: I saw that interview of "EDHI's ASSISTANT" on GEO and he was saying that he is not "sure" how many deaths were due to rain. He said 220 bodies were brought into the cold storage and that include rain + other bodies (natural, murder etc). He said "his guess is that bodies related to rain death are b/w 170-190) and pathetic GEO was reporting that "EDHI HOME k mutabiq barish sai marney waloon kee taadad 220 ho gaee hai" ..... *once again GEO was trying to increase their viewer ship and rating by using dead bodies ! pathetic ! *
Having said that, death bhaley eik hee keyun na ho, afsos tu hota hai! :(
