KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) -Pakistan ordered businesses, schools and public offices in Karachi to shut on Wednesday after torrential monsoon rain left at least 10 people dead in the densely populated port city, with more heavy downpours predicted.
The monsoon has brought havoc across Pakistan in recent days with the death toll from flash floods that hit the mountainous northwest on Friday rising to 385. Authorities said an unspecified number of people remained missing.
