@greeneralia the State Gov is mindful of that. They are compulsarily evacuating only coastal villages directly facing the storm surge along the Sindh coast.

#Karachi's coastline is mostly captured by elite residential societies, or ports/power plants/naval bases, none of whom will evacuate.

A 'voluntary evacuation' has been announced for them, rest of the city been advised to hunker down.
