Heavy Rains Cause Flooding and Disrupt Services in Pakistan's Major Cities
Heavy rains in Pakistan's twin cities Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar caused severe flooding, submerging roads and residential areas. Over 120 residents were rescued from Peshawar's Sardar Colony as floodwaters rose. The downpour exposed inadequate drainage, incomplete infrastructure projects, and disrupted public services including power outages and suspended transport. Authorities issued alerts and deployed emergency teams, but residents reported limited official assistance amid widespread waterlogging and administrative challenges.
