KARACHI \u2013 All educational institutions across Karachi have been closed today (September 10) due to ongoing and forecasted heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

The Karachi commissioner has issued a formal notification confirming the closure, citing safety concerns for students and staff due to the persistent bad weather.<\/p>\n

The Dow University of Health Sciences has also postponed all examinations scheduled for today. University officials confirmed that new dates for the exams will be announced later.<\/p>\n

Since Tuesday morning, various parts of Karachi have been experiencing intermittent light to heavy rainfall. Areas such as Malir, Quaidabad, Shah Faisal Colony, Surjani Town, Safora, Gulistan-e-Johar, Sohrab Goth, Saddar, Clifton, and Shahrah-e-Faisal have all reported continuous rain activity.<\/p>\n

A particularly intense spell of rain began around 8 PM on Tuesday night, leading to water accumulation in low-lying areas including Shahrah-e-Faisal, near the Drigh Road underpass, Model Colony, Rashid Minhas Road, NIPA, Safora, and Malir. This has caused significant disruption to traffic and daily activities.<\/p>\n

Other neighborhoods including Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Gulistan-e-Johar, Nazimabad, and the SITE industrial area also reported heavy downpours.<\/p>\n

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, a new rain spell is expected to hit Karachi within the next 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n

The core of the current weather system is still approaching the city, indicating the possibility of further rainfall and potential urban flooding.<\/p>\n

Residents are advised to take necessary precautions and avoid unnecessary travel, especially in waterlogged areas.<\/p>\n
