Regardless of mass drownings occurring continuously within the nation, as a consequence of overloaded, worn-out vessels overturning in its waters, many individuals in Pakistan can not swim.
Ladies are significantly weak in these conditions since they sometimes put on full-coverage clothes, which weighs them down within the water, and a conservative tradition discourages them from studying to swim.
The tragedy occurred on the identical day a bus crash in southern Pakistan killed 39 individuals.
