Commissioner Karachi has banned bathing and swimming on various Karachi beaches for two months, from July 16 to September 15.
The office of the Commissioner has directed Deputy Commissioners to ensure compliance with the ban.
Citizens are advised to follow the orders to ensure safety.
“There is apprehension expressed by the concerned Deputy Commissioners that a large number of public is expected to visit the beaches in Karachi during Eid Holidays and there is every likelihood of drowning incidents occurring due to public bathing and swimming in the sea, owing to the monsoon spell and high tides in the sea,” the notification read.
However, bathing in the sea is banned at Canap Beach, Mubarak Village, and Sonera Beach until August 13, according to Geo News.
