      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intermittent heavy rains lashed Islamabad and Rawalpindi on Monday, submerging major roads and raising fears of flooding in Nala Lai.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Islamabad, streets at G-8 and G-11 intersections were inundated, leaving vehicles stranded as rainwater turned roads into streams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The highest rainfall was recorded in H-8 with 99 mm, followed by Golra at 76 mm, New Katarian 63mm, and Pirwadhai 42mm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), intermittent heavy rainfall is expected to continue over the coming days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Rawalpindi, the surge of rainwater raised fears of flash floods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sirens were sounded as the water level in Nala Lai reached 19.3 feet at Katarian and 16.6 feet at Gawalmandi, both nearing critical levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rescue 1122 teams and civil defence personnel have been deployed along Nala Lai to deal with any emergency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Evacuation operations are underway in low-lying areas near Katarian and Gawalmandi, while rescue teams remain on high alert to respond to any emergency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities have warned residents to avoid venturing near streams and drains. The district administration has appealed for public cooperation to prevent loss of life and property.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PMD further forecasts more rain in Kashmir, Murree, Abbottabad, and Mansehra, with thunderstorms expected in Muzaffarabad, Poonch, Bagh, and Haveli.&lt;/p&gt;
