The environment has been unrelenting for Pakistan, and new predictions allude to a future that is potentially more destructive. Pre-monsoon rains have already wreaked havoc across major areas of the country, including Punjab and KP. This is extremely concerning, especially when we take into account that we are yet to experience monsoon rains that flooded most of the country last year. These active power lives fall onto the roads, where water collects due to horribly maintained drainage and sewerage systems. As a country that is likely to experience the worst forms of monsoon rains simply because of its geographical location, one would assume that the authorities would embark upon development projects that factor in these externalities as well, but alas.
