KARACHI: The water level in the sea rose as Karachi experienced monsoon, inundating recreational places like Hawksbay and other coastal locations. Seawater moved over the huts and reached the service roads, prompting authorities to limit public visits to beaches.
Citizens of the area have been warned away from the shore because of highly risky tides. The water level within the sea keeps rising, and sea tidal activity in Manora, Hawksbay, and Sandspit has resulted in seawater entering certain huts and surrounding residential areas.
Manora and Sandspit roads were flooded, and residents were taken to nearby safe areas in precautionary evacuations.
The authorities, under Section 144, have prohibited swimming in the sea, and police have been deployed to ward off public gatherings on the beaches. Tourists trying to visit these coastal areas are being thwarted to maintain public safety.
WWF adviser Moazzam Khan clarified that the sea generally tends to become rough in June and July, with monsoon winds causing wave heights to rise quite high. He described the swelling tides as caused by strong south-western wind systems that force sea levels above coastal limits.
