PESHAWAR:
Torrential rains and flash floods over the past two days have left at least 18 people dead and several others missing across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan, prompting emergency responses and warnings of more rain to come.
According to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) statement on Wednesday, 13 fatalities have been reported so far in K-P alone due to rain-related incidents in the last 48 hours.
Among the deceased are nine children, three women and one man. Three others, including two children and one woman, have sustained injuries.
The PDMA's preliminary damage report revealed that 19 houses were affected across the province, with 17 partially damaged and two completely destroyed.
The incidents were reported in the districts of Swat, Buner, Bajaur, Torghar, Upper Kohistan, Mardan, Kurram, Haripur, Mansehra, Upper Chitral, Malakand and Shangla.
Swat emerged as the worst-hit district over the past 48 hours, with flash floods and the collapse of a house claiming the lives of six children and one woman, while another woman and child sustained injuries.
In Buner, three fatalities were reported amid intense rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Awoman and her child lost their lives after being struck by lightning, while an eight-year-old boy was swept away during the downpour. "The dead body has been recovered by the locals," the PDMAconfirmed.
Heavy rainfall in Bajaur led to another tragedy, where two brothers, aged 21 and five, lost their lives. "Their mother was successfully rescued while the bodies of both brothers were recovered," the PDMAquoted the Bajaur Deputy Commissioner's Office as saying.
Elsewhere, a woman died in Upper Kohistan and a child was injured in Torghar after the roof of a house collapsed due to persistent rain.
Meanwhile, the situation is equally dire in G-B as flash floods in the Babusar region continue to cause widespread devastation, with 10 to 15 people feared swept away and still missing.
The G-B government has urged tourists to immediately postpone travel plans to the region.
Speaking on a television program, G-B government spokesperson Faizullah Faraq confirmed that massive damage had occurred due to persistent rains and flooding. He said all stranded tourists on the Babusar route had been successfully rescued and were being provided free lodging in coordination with local hotel owners and the administration.
All routes to Naran and Kaghan remain closed, while the Karakoram Highway has been blocked at two major points, leaving thousands of travellers stranded. The Silk Route is open for small vehicles, and restoration work up to Bisham is underway at full pace.
Faraq appealed to citizens to refrain from travelling to G-B until the situation stabilises. He added that G-B chief minister will visit the worst-hit areas, including Babusar, to assess the damage and oversee relief measures.
Meanwhile, the Director General of the Meteorological Department has warned of further intense rainfall in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan over the coming days.
He termed the loss of lives at Babusar Top as tragic and cautioned that the weather may cause further destruction.
In Diamer, authorities have declared an emergency after five people lost their lives due to floodwaters.
Earlier, multiple tourists were swept away at Babusar Top, and rescue operations are still underway.
Also, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issued a warning for widespread rain-wind/thundershowers across the country on Wednesday, with the possibility of heavy to very heavy falls in various regions, triggering concerns over flash floods, urban flooding, and landslides.
According to the latest forecast, rain-wind/thundershower is expected in Kashmir, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, Punjab, Gilgit-Baltistan, and northeast Balochistan. Southern parts of the country will remain mostly hot and humid.
The Met Office has warned of potentially hazardous conditions tonight and throughout Wednesday. Heavy rains may generate flash floods in local streams and nullahs in Chitral, Dir, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Buner, Charsadda, Nowshera, Swabi, Mardan, Murree, Galliyat, Islamabad/Rawalpindi, hill torrents of Dera Ghazi Khan, northeast Punjab, and Kashmir.
Urban flooding is feared in low-lying areas of Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Lahore, Sialkot, Sargodha, Faisalabad, Okara, Nowshera, and Peshawar due to heavy downpours. Landslides and mudslides may cause road blockages in the vulnerable hilly areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Murree, Galliyat, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan. Strong windstorms and lightning may damage weak structures such as rooftops and walls of kacha houses, electric poles, billboards, vehicles, and solar panels.

LAHORE:
Heavy downpours early Wednesday morning flooded low-lying areas in Lahore and several other cities across Punjab, disrupting daily life and electricity supply in several neighbourhoods.
Dozens of power feeders tripped as water accumulated on roads, severely impacting mobility and local infrastructure. In Lahore, intense rainfall drenched areas including Mall Road, Lakshmi Chowk, Upper Mall, Chauburji, Mozang, Ferozepur Road, Nishtar Town, Jail Road, Tajpura, Faisal Town, Iqbal Town, Garden Town, Johar Town, Township, and Canal Road. Several underpasses and streets were submerged, overwhelming drainage systems.
Similar conditions were reported from other parts of Punjab, including Faisalabad, Khanewal, Hafizabad, Mian Channu, Muridke, Jhang, and Kalabagh, where rainwater inundated streets and residential neighbourhoods.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued an alert forecasting continued monsoon rains across most of the country through July 25.
Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Director General Irfan Ali Kathia directed all deputy commissioners to ensure that relevant departments remain on high alert. Emergency preparations, including deployment of machinery and personnel, are to be completed, while provincial and district-level emergency operation centres have been instructed to remain operational around the clock.
Rescue 1122, WASA and other emergency agencies have been instructed to expedite drainage in affected areas and maintain readiness for any potential rescue operations. The PDMA advised citizens to stay away from electric poles and hanging wires, avoid unstable buildings, and report emergencies to the 1122 helpline immediately.
According to the Met Office, the current monsoon spell is expected to continue until July 25, with heavy to very heavy rainfall predicted in parts of upper Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pothohar region, northeast Punjab, and Kashmir. Strong winds, lightning and downpours could cause damage to weak structures, electric poles, and solar installations. In the last 24 hours, significant rainfall was recorded in several areas. Attock received 133mm, while Lahore airport measured 104mm and the city centre 67mm of rainfall. Narowal, Sheikhupura, Mangla, Joharabad, and other cities also experienced substantial precipitation.
However, according to an official statement, rainwater drainage from roads in Lahore was completed in a few hours after the torrential rain. The rain had continued for several hours. Major roads of the city were drained immediately. The drainage process was also completed at Karim Block, Shadman, Wahdat Road, Ichhra, GC University Road, Old Campus, Nasir Bagh, DC Office Road and other roads.
Meanwhile, Punjab Governor Sardar Saleem Haider Khan said while talking to the media during his visit to the flood-affected areas in Jhelum that a comprehensive survey would be conducted to identify areas in need, and relief efforts would be extended to flood victims accordingly. The governor urged the government to declare Jhelum, Chakwal, and other rain-affected areas as disaster zones to facilitate targeted support.
He said he had cancelled his official and private engagements due to the situation caused by the flash floods in different areas of the province.
The governor said the Pakistan People's Party workers had been directed to provide all possible support to the flood victims.

RAWALPINDI: A landslide near Salgran forced the closure of Grand Trunk (G.T.) Road in Murree following heavy monsoon rains, a spokesperson for the traffic police said on Wednesday.
Instead, the City Traffic Police Murree has issued an advisory for the public and tourists asking them to use the expressway to and from Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Murree.
He said due to heavy rains, a portion of the road at Salgran had become a target of landslides, causing closure for all kinds of traffic, adding that Rawalpindi-Murree-Kashmir Road had also been temporarily closed.
Traffic diversion has been imposed at 17 Mile Toll Plaza, Bawar, Bansara, Gali Jhika, Lower Topa, the spokesperson said.
Chief Traffic Officer Waseem Akhtar urged road users to follow instructions of the traffic wardens deployed at the points, saying the traffic wardens were playing an important role in making the journey easier and lives safer.
The CTO also requested the public to avoid unnecessary travel during rains, and if necessary drive carefully.
He further said traffic wardens had been deployed at landslide points to guide road users and to ensure their safe journey.
As part of the advisory, tourists and public were also advised to keep a reasonable distance from the next vehicle and avoid overtaking.
For the safety of the public and due to the current weather conditions, instructions have been issued to use the alternative expressway by setting up a diversion point at G.T. Road Toll Plaza, the CTO said.
Chief Traffic Officer Murree Wasim Akhtar, while giving instructions to DSP Traffic Murree Ghazi Sohail Shahzad and traffic officers and officials posted for Murree traffic duty, said traffic officers and officials should perform their duty honestly so that tourists and the public coming to Murree do not face any kind of problems.
DSP Traffic Murree and other officers should provide all possible facilities to tourists by staying in the field, the CTO said.
According to the SOP, driving license, fitness certificate of public-service vehicles and the provincial government’sSOP for the entry of large vehicles should be strictly implemented so that no untoward incident like the past occurs.
The CTO said tourists should choose the right vehicle to come to Murree, keep the wipers and lights of the vehicle in perfect condition, avoid speeding due to slippery roads and dangerous turns.

GILGIT: Thousands of people, including foreign tourists, remai ned stranded at multiple locations in Gilgit-Baltistan due to blocked roads, including the Karakoram Highway (KKH), due to landslides. Mobile and internet services across the region were also disrupted after fibre optic cables were damaged in several areas.
Gilgit-Baltistan government spokesperson Faizullah Faraq confirmed that KKH is blocked at Achar Nallah in the Kohistan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Thousands of passengers, including tourists, travelling to and from GB are stranded on both sides of the highway.
He said that while KKH has been reopened for traffic within GB, restoration work is underway in Kohistan. The Babusar Pass Road is also blocked at several locations.
Mr Faraq assured that all tourists stranded on the Babusar route have been safely evacuated and search operations for missing individuals are underway. Those rescued from Babusar Pass have been brought to Chilas, where local hoteliers and government authorities have arranged complimentary accommodation.
The mobile and internet communication systems in the region were severely damaged, leaving the majority of residents without service for up to six hours on Wednesday. The region ’ s communication system relies on an optical fibre cable connecting GB with Rawalpindi.
According to the Special Commu nications Organisation (SCO), recent flash floods in Babusar Valley caused significant damage to the main optical fibre cable. Emergency alternative satellite arrangements were made, but consumers faced slow mobile and internet connectivity. Mr Faraq said that work has begun to restore the communication system.
Meanwhile, Deputy Speaker of the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly Sadia Danish expressed concern over the safety of 40 individuals stranded in Danyore’s Manogah Nallah in Gilgit. In a statement, she urged the government to initiate a helicopter rescue operation immediately.
Ms Danish emphasised tha protecting human lives should remain the top priority and recognised the efforts of the provincial government, the Pakistan Army, volunteers and residents in the rescue operations during the flood emergency.
She also commended the generosity of residents, who opened their homes, mosques, imambargahs and hotels to shelter stranded tourists.
Moreover, river erosion caused the collapse of the Hotu suspension bridge in Shigar, cutting off the only access to the K2 base camp. A large number of foreign expedition members and trekkers were stranded, while eight villages were also disconnected.
Officials from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said that a C130 sortie will be arranged from Gilgit to Islamabad to airlift stranded travellers.
Stranded tourists are expected to receive airlifts free of charge on Thursday (today) in an operation overseen by Gilgit’s additional deputy commissioner.
GB Chief Minister Haji Gulbar Khan has assured that the rescue operations will continue until all stranded people in Babusar are rescued.
He also declared the flood-affected areas of Thaki, Niyat, Khunra and Thor in Diamer as disaster zones. He also announced that the families of those who died in the floods at Babusar will receive death compensation under the government policy.
The chief minister ordered urgent measures to restore drinking water, electricity, irrigation channels and road communications in the flood-affected areas of Thor. He also visited the flood-affected areas to oversee the recovery efforts along with Adviser on Forests Haji Shah Baig and GB Minister forAgriculture Engineer Anwar.
