The population and bunds in Jamshoro, Qasimabad and Latifabad, are at increased risk posed by potential flooding, leading to the works regarding the repair embankments.

The bunds are being supervised. And advisory has been issued to residents of Interior Sindh to evacuate to the safer places.



PESHAWAR: After a brief lull, heavy monsoon showers once again have started to lash out in Peshawar and its adjoining areas on Saturday.

The rain-triggered flash floods have caused a massive loss of life and property across Khyber-Pakhtunkwa.

May Allah forgive our sins and may stop all the floods those damage our area. May Allah fulfill our houses with his Rahmat. May Allah always rain on us fulfilled with Rahmat.
Aameen!
