KARACHI: Following the threat of an approaching storm, Karachi experienced the severe effects of a deep depression in the Arabian Sea, with strong winds causing trees to fall in various areas, resulting in the tragic death of a woman, media reported on Friday.
Rescue officials reported that a tree fell near Stadium Road in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, fatally injuring a woman whose identity remains unknown.
Additionally, strong winds caused a tree to topple in Gulistan-e-Johar Block 10, while another tree in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Block 17 fell onto electric wires, disrupting the area’s power supply and affecting traffic flow.
The cyclonic storm in the Arabian Sea, currently about 200 kilometers from Karachi, is moving at a speed of 60 to 70 km per hour.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz stated that while the storm is not expected to directly hit Karachi or the Sindh coastline, its effects will likely result in heavy rainfall across the province.
