Karachi: Lath, Thado Dams Overflow After Continued Rainfall

KARACHI (HRNW) Thado and Lath dams in Gadap Town have overflown owing to continued monsoon rains in the region.

Flooding in Malir River has submerged the roads to the Northern Bypass, while land link with Gadap Town has been disrupted.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Lath Dam near Super Highway had overflown in 2019 monsoon and the floodwater had entered the K-Electric’s KDA Grid station, at Gulzar-e-Hijri Scheme 33, and caused a massive power breakdown in the metropolis.

Thado and Lath dam are retention dams built near Karachi on local rivers for storing rain water.
