      <title>Heavy rains batter Sindh cities, flooding low-lying areas</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330466160/heavy-rains-batter-sindh-cities-flooding-low-lying-areas</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intermittent rainfall continued across several districts of Sindh on Sunday, including Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Tharparkar, Badin, Thatta and Sujawal, with downpours triggering urban flooding, disrupting electricity supply and affecting daily life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Mirpurkhas, torrential rain inundated low-lying areas, with floodwater entering homes and shops after the city’s drainage system became overwhelmed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Residents were seen trying to protect their properties using their own resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Electricity supply in parts of the city was also suspended after a fault developed in a high-tension transmission line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said rain-bearing clouds remained active over southern and south-eastern Sindh, forecasting more rainfall in Tharparkar, Hyderabad, Thatta, Badin and other parts of the province.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Karachi, light rain was reported in several areas, including Quaidabad, Malir and Gulistan-e-Jauhar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Hyderabad and Tando Allahyar, intermittent rain brought relief from the heat but caused power outages after multiple electricity feeders tripped.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tharparkar witnessed heavy rainfall that created flood-like conditions in several areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After heavy rains, the Mithi-Naukot Road and routes linking Islamkot and Diplo were submerged, while several low-lying localities remained under water.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the Civil Hospital in Mithi, rainwater leaked through roofs and entered hospital wards, creating difficulties for patients and medical staff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Continuous rainfall for nearly 20 hours was also reported in Umerkot and Tando Mohammad Khan, while several areas of Jamshoro and Badin were inundated by accumulated rainwater.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PMD has advised residents to remain cautious as further rainfall is expected across southern Sindh over the coming days.&lt;/p&gt;
