Thousands of vehicles are still stranded in water, and yesterday was one of the darkest days for Karachi,\u201d he lamented. Tessori emphasized the need to set politics aside and focus on collective efforts for relief. Without naming Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, Governor Tessori extended an offer of cooperation, urging, \u201cLet us work together. Please, no one should politicize the situation. People are suffering, and Karachiites looked helpless and abandoned today.\u201d He also appealed to philanthropists to step forward and assist the affected population, assuring the public that they would not be left alone in these challenging times.
