Almost 19 people lost their lives while celebrating Eid at the Karachi seaside during these three holidays. Nineteen bodies were recovered whereas many are still believed to be under the water. Shoaib Siddiqui said that the victims had ignored the safety warnings which lead to their death. He further added that Pakistani navy and Baluch’s Edhi Foundation were still combing the waters for missing people. “This is a very sad incident, and we are using all of our resources to trace and rescue some of the remaining missing people,” he said, “We had imposed a ban on bathing and swimming on the beaches due to bad weather in the sea, but some people ignored safety warnings and drowned.”
Farooq Baluch, the director of Pakistan’s largest private emergency service, said that the rescuers had recovered 19 bodies from the water near the southern city. Local Pakistan channels show relatives of the dead and the missing people crying on the beach. A senior police officer Ibadat Nisar informed that the police had discovered three bodies washed up at the upscale Clifton beach yesterday evening, which led to a much wider search operation that was suspended overnight but then resumed again this Thursday morning.
“We started talking to picnickers on the beach and realized that the number of people who drowned was much higher than we thought, people whom we talked to told us about their friends or relatives who had gone missing while swimming,” he said.
