Flood Disaster Looms: Sindh Rings Alarm Bells Over Khanki Underpass

An aerial view of the Khanki Underpass has raised eyebrows and sparked a heated debate among the concerned authorities of the Sindh government, who are worried about the potential dangers that may emerge if the underpass is opened to the public.

Sindh’s Irrigation Minister, Jam Khan Shoro, has sounded the alarm, warning about the devastating impact that the opening of the Khanki Underpass could have, particularly in districts such as Larkana and Qamber Shahdadkot, which are already vulnerable to flooding.

According to the Irrigation Minister, the Khanki Underpass, if opened, could exacerbate the risk of flooding in these districts, putting at stake the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people who reside in these areas.

The Sindh government, anticipating the worst-case scenario, is calling for emergency measures to be taken to mitigate the potential damage that could result from the opening of the underpass.

The threat of flooding is a serious concern for the Sindh government, which has witnessed firsthand the devastating impact that flooding can have on communities.

In recent years, the province has experienced severe flooding, which has resulted in the displacement of thousands of people and the destruction of crops, livestock, and infrastructure.

Given the region’s history of flooding, the Sindh government is taking no chances, and is instead, proactively seeking to address the potential risks associated with the opening of the Khanki Underpass.

The government is currently in discussions with experts and stakeholders to explore alternative solutions, which could minimize the risks associated with the underpass, while also addressing the infrastructure needs of the region.

In this context, the Sindh government is working closely with the relevant authorities to come up with an effective plan that would prevent any potential disaster from occurring.

As the authorities continue to grapple with this pressing issue, the fate of the Khanki Underpass hangs in the balance, as the government weighs the pros and cons of opening the underpass to the public.

One thing is certain, however – the Sindh government is committed to taking a proactive approach to addressing this issue, rather than waiting for disaster to strike.
