Pakistan is facing a brutal dual crisis as historic monsoon floods and massive power blackouts strike simultaneously. Torrential rains have turned streets into rivers, submerged the capital, and claimed over 175 lives. Meanwhile, a national electricity shortfall exceeding 4,000 megawatts has plunged cities like Karachi and Lahore into darkness—leaving low-income families without power for up to 24 hours. Compounded by fuel shortages and rising electricity tariffs, in this video Firstpost explains how the country’s ageing infrastructure is buckling under the pressure. Watch to see how ordinary citizens are surviving this climate and energy catastrophe, and what it means for Pakistan's future.
