ISLAMABAD (Staff Report) – Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has postponed his visit to Karachi that was scheduled for today (Monday). He will now be visiting the city on Wednesday.

The PM was due in the city today to review the issues of heat-related deaths in Karachi and the loadshedding problem.
He was also scheduled to hold meetings with Governor Sindh Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad and Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah who had to brief him about causes of deaths and government’s relief efforts in Karachi where more than 1100 people have lost their lives due to heatstroke.
