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.
