Singer Umair Jaswal is known for his clear-cut views and bold stance in music industry. Umair Coke Studio's song went viral and also stirred controversy when online haters gave him death threats.  

Recently, Umair taking to Instagram urged Pakistanis to stop spreading fake news in the name of breaking news. The singer shared a picture of a cloud burst and said for God's sake Pakistanis, the video did not from Karachi DHA. 

It became difficult to identify the real news and fake news as fake news creators widely shared some other countries' cloud burst but caption them as it  really happen in Karachi.

Karachi has been facing monsoon rains. 

Pertinent to note that Karachi, Pakistan’s most populated city, houses people from all walks of life, has been battling with one of the worst monsoon rain spell that killed many and destroyed peorperties as well.

As the city and its already tenuous systems shut down every year, citizens face an uphill climb in just getting through their days. The very first hazard the monsoon rains reveal is harmful potholes, evident on roads across the city. During monsoon season, these potholes become a mosquito hatchery which results in vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue.
