Karachi is preparing for heavy rainfall and severe storms, prompting the Sindh government to declare September 10, 2025, an emergency holiday for all public and private schools and colleges across the city.
The decision follows a high alert from the Pakistan Meteorological Department, forecasting torrential rains, strong winds, and lightning. Officials stated that the closure aims to protect students and teachers from dangerous road conditions.
Exams have been postponed, with revised schedules to be announced later. Daily life in the city has been severely affected, with urban flooding, traffic gridlocks, and widespread disruption due to the ongoing monsoon season.
Authorities have warned that the situation could worsen, keeping the city on high alert. Additional closures and emergency measures may be implemented if the storm intensifies.
Residents are advised to stay safe, avoid unnecessary travel, and prepare for potential further disruptions caused by the monsoon.
