It made landfall in Pakistan on June 15, 2023, near the city of Karachi. The storm caused widespread damage in Pakistan and India. At least 100 people were killed and hundreds more were injured.

Sea Storm Threatens Pakistan:

A sea storm is threatening Pakistan, with authorities warning of heavy rain, flooding, and high winds. The storm, which is named Biparjoy, is currently located in the Arabian Sea, about 600 kilometers south of Karachi. It is expected to make landfall on the Pakistani coast on Wednesday morning.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a red alert for the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan, warning of "extremely heavy" rain and winds gusting up to 150 kilometers per hour. The PMD has also advised people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.

The storm is expected to bring heavy rain to other parts of Pakistan as well, including Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan. The PMD has warned of flooding and landslides in these areas.

The government has deployed rescue teams and relief supplies to the coastal areas. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has also set up control rooms in Karachi and other coastal cities.

The sea storm is the latest in a series of natural disasters to hit Pakistan in recent years. In 2010, a devastating earthquake killed more than 300,000 people in the country. In 2012, a massive flood displaced millions of people.

The sea storm is a reminder of the vulnerability of Pakistan to natural disasters. The country is located in a seismically active region and is prone to floods, cyclones, and droughts. The government needs to do more to build resilience to these disasters and to protect its people.

Here are some tips for staying safe during a sea storm:

• Stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.
• If you must go outside, be sure to wear sturdy shoes and avoid walking in areas where there is flooding.
• Stay away from windows and doors.
• If you are in a coastal area, be sure to secure your belongings and move to higher ground if necessary.
• Listen to the radio or TV for updates on the storm.
• Follow the instructions of local authorities.
