Karachi has imposed a temporary ban on swimming in the sea for two months. This decision, officially announced through a recent notification, is set to last until August 13.
The Commissioner of Karachi stated that this measure is taken under Section 144, which allows for immediate actions in case of potential danger. This ban is a response to forecasts of high tides and unusual waves along the Karachi coast. The authorities are prioritizing public safety to prevent any unfortunate incidents during this period.
The beaches of Karachi, usually bustling with activity, will now see fewer swimmers and beachgoers. This safety step aims to protect the public from the unpredictable and potentially dangerous sea conditions expected in the coming weeks.
Karachi’s coastline is known for its beautiful and inviting beaches. However, the ocean can turn perilous during the monsoon season, leading to strong tides and rough waters. Officials urge everyone to adhere to the ban, ensuring their own safety and helping avoid emergencies.
During these two months, the city’s residents and visitors will need to find alternative ways to enjoy the summer. The hope is that by mid-August, conditions will stabilize, allowing people to safely return to the sea.
