We received non stop rain for several days and, even the best - kept capital of Islamabad is overwhelmed with monsoon water:
- didn't spot a single CDA worker to keep the drains open to let the water flow
- monsoon water needs to be able to flow, concrete , congested construction will not allow it to flow
- electricity cuts
- we need to be able to harvest monsoon water
- new roads are collapsing which are unnecessary to begin with not when there are other priorities and clearly are not planned/made in any competent manner
- domestic workers, working class folks' ramshackle homes are submerged with rain water but this class of people is the least priority in urban planning, urban policy
- monsoon rains flood urban spaces every single year causing damage and deaths and, the local , provincial and federal authorities don't plan
- rural situation is as neglected as well
