The joy of fishermen in Karachi has been shattered by the impact of tropical cyclone Biparjoy, which has disrupted their fishing activities and left them unemployed during what is typically a rare respite for them in June. As a result, hundreds of fishermen have been affected by the cyclone. Those who rely on fishing as daily wages labourers find themselves without work, anxiously waiting for the storm to pass. While some experienced fishermen venture into the sea daily, others spend weeks searching for substantial catches. Although the fishermen are concerned about the economic impact, they are equally worried about the potential damage to their communities.
