Cyclone Biparjoy is potentially bringing death and destruction in its fold and the daring photographer captured a tin sheet flying towards a person who managed to duck in time.
The high-speed winds and high tides at the coast of Karachi are ringing alarm bells for the administration while the local fishermen are taking precautions and leaving their homes but there would be many who have nowhere to go.
The floods not long in Sindh have rendered many thousands homeless and now the coastal belt is under threat.
The small child is walking through water that has come in the locality due to high tides but what happens when the cyclone strikes the coast?
It is time to take emergency measures as there would be many thousands who God forbade will suffer if the cyclone strikes the coast.
The government is doing what is in its means but what is needed is mass awareness for people to save their lives as the cyclone is but a few hundred kilometers away.
The effects are already being felt with strong winds and a downpour in different areas. Consolidated efforts are needed to save the masses before it’s too late.
