Rainwater has also seeped into homes in various parts of Rawalpindi, with several areas witnessing water accumulation several feet deep inside houses. Streets in Shale Village, Tench Bhata, and People’s Colony now resemble ponds, leaving residents trapped in their homes.
Meanwhile, in the Military Colony area of Rawalpindi, a house collapsed due to the relentless rain. Rescue teams were promptly dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of the incident. The house, situated near a drain, is believed to have collapsed as a result of the heavy downpour. Fortunately, no casualties were reported, as the house was unoccupied at the time.
Furthermore, inner-city streets have been submerged, turning them into makeshift ponds. After three consecutive days of rain, both WASA and the Cantonment Board have struggled to manage the situation, with their efforts to drain water proving ineffective. The entire cantonment area, along with city streets and underpasses, has been inundated, resembling small lakes.
