The flood in Azimieh Karaj, following heavy rainfall last night, swept away cars and caused financial and human losses. This incident, which occurred during the night, quickly drew the attention of residents and officials, increasing concerns about the state of urban infrastructure.

Damage Caused by the Flood

After the rainfall, due to the sewage system's inability to manage the high volume of water, widespread flooding occurred in the streets and alleys of Azimieh. This flood not only carried away vehicles but also blocked some streets and created heavy traffic. Local residents expressed concern upon witnessing cars rapidly sinking in the floodwaters.

Officials' Response and Necessary Measures

Following this incident, some city officials and the crisis management headquarters came to the scene to assess the situation and assist the victims. They emphasized the need to revise urban planning and improve sewage infrastructure. Additionally, orders were issued for clearing the streets and restoring normal conditions. This incident once again highlighted the necessity of addressing infrastructural issues and crisis management during natural disasters.

Residents of Azimieh Karaj, while grappling with the aftermath of this incident, are calling for immediate and effective actions from officials to prevent such events in the future. They pointed out that given the geographical location of the city and seasonal rainfall, there is a need to strengthen the sewage system and implement preventive measures.
