Downpour Turns Lahore into Flood Pool: PTI | Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf

Dr. Yasmin Raashid advisor to PTI Chairman said as always Wednesday???s rain has turned Lahore into a flood pool. Instead of Paris as it is called in Sharif Brothers??? book it has become a swamp of mud and water. Rain has exposed all the tall claims of self proclaimed Khadam E Alla's Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa) as majority of the city localities remained in ankle deep rainwater she added. Shabaz Sharif keeps burning the resources on useless roads and flyovers but does not want to fix century old drainage system of Lahore, which he claims, the fortress of his party. After rain poor public has to face great difficulties because the rainwater inundated streets and dirty water gushed into their houses due to poor sewerage arrangements she added. She said public is fed up with good governance mantra of PML-N and they want immediate drainage of the rainwater. She said people do not want to see Khadama A Alla wearing long boots and standing in rainwater for photo session.

PTI Information Secretary Andleeb Abbas said all the city???s main points, including Garhi Shahu from where Ayaz Sadiq is contesting and sloganeering day in and day out about the so-called good governance of his masters became inundated with water making life paralyzed for people living and working over there. Does Ayaz Sadiq have the answer of the question why rainwater chokes the lives of people of Lahore despite his party being in power for the last 35 years? Sharif Brothers have not been able to develop proper sanitation system she added. She said this time people of NA-122 are in no mood to buy lollipop of good governance, Ayaz Sadiq has nothing to sell in his election campaign. Every time city authorities claims that all drains of the city have been cleared of silt and solid waste and there is no danger of over flooding during rainy season, they are proven wrong by just one downpour. We have seen worst rainwater management over the years she added. She said if Khadam A Alla had learnt any lesson from last year's heavy rainfall, the city streets would not have turned into a river after rain.
