Karachi: At least 5 people have died due to severe cold weather conditions in Karachi after the season's first winter showers which also lead to massive traffic snarls.
Rains lashed Karachi and brought down the temperature by three degrees Celsius below normal.
Due to the inadequate civic facilities in the financial capital, the heavy showers created havoc and affected the lives of millions of people in the country's largest city as it witnessed frequent power outages.
A man was killed after his bike skidded, according to Edhi welfare foundation. Another man was reportedly electrocuted after contact with a live wire near Korangi Crossing, police said.
Heavy rains lowered the temperature between 11 and 12 degrees, according to the meteorological department.
