What’s the Pakistani Government waiting for?


It’s absolutely horrible, painful, heartbreaking and frustrating to listen and watch what’s happening right now in Karachi. Temperatures are at an extreme high and there is a massive heat wave over the city, we don’t have control over mother nature but we can adapt to it. That’s why it’s ridiculous that for 8-10 hours at a time the electricity and power will be off for many homes in Karachi. It’s the month of Ramadan so many people are fasting as well. At the very least people should be able to be comfortable in their own homes. Why do KESC (Karachi electric supply corporation ) have load shedding during Ramadan? Why can’t they come up with an alternative? More than 800 people have already died from the heat-stroke. Don’t they have the hearts to feel pain at all for other humans. More than 800 families have already lost their loved ones and who knows how many more innocent lives are about to be lost.
My mind doesn't get it. Right now, as a Pakistani I am ashamed of my birth county. I know there are lots of wonderful organizations in Karachi doing a marvelous job! And I salute them! They are the real heroes! But their resources are limited. Why the Pakistani government isn’t doing anything is a question that needs to be answered. This is an emergency and there are no shelters provided by government
I wonder what the limit is for how many lives can be lost before something is done. Normal humans feel sympathy towards other humans, they try to help.
