At least 10 people were killed and two others injured in rain-related incidents across Pakistan over the past 24 hours, as relentless monsoon showers continued to batter several parts of the country, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

Five of the latest fatalities, including three children, were reported from Sindh, while Punjab recorded three deaths, including two children.

Since June 26, monsoon-related incidents have claimed at least 136 lives and injured 418 people nationwide, NDMA data showed. The death toll includes 63 children and 26 women.

Heavy rainfall triggered urban flooding in several cities, including Sialkot, Gujranwala and Jhelum, disrupting normal life and inundating roads and low-lying areas.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remains the worst-hit province, with 57 deaths, including 27 children. Mountainous areas continue to face landslides and flash flooding in streams and rivers.

Punjab has reported 50 deaths and 308 injuries, largely due to roof collapses and rain-related accidents.

Sindh has recorded 10 deaths and eight injuries, while 10 people have died and five others were injured in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Balochistan has reported eight fatalities and 15 injuries, with flash floods continuing in streams across the Sulaiman Range and northern districts.

Infrastructure damaged

The NDMA said more than 1,150 houses had been partially or completely damaged, while 545 livestock had perished.

Floods have also damaged key infrastructure, affecting 37 bridges and around 25 kilometres of roads.

Flooding continues at Ganda Singh Wala on the Sutlej River, while medium to high flood levels are expected at Balloki Headworks on the Ravi River. Authorities have issued alerts for villages around Lahore as well as Kasur, Okara and Pakpattan districts.

The NDMA and provincial disaster management authorities have established more than 75 relief camps across Punjab and other affected areas to accommodate displaced residents.

Rescue 1122 and district administrations remain on high alert, while authorities have urged the public to stay away from rivers, streams, electricity poles and structurally weak buildings.

More rain forecast

Monsoon rains continued in Rawalpindi, Islamabad and other parts of the country on Monday, flooding roads and inundating low-lying neighbourhoods.

In Rawalpindi, heavy rain submerged several residential areas, with floodwater entering homes. Rain also disrupted daily life in various parts of Islamabad.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department forecast more heavy rain through Tuesday in upper Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The department also warned of urban flooding and landslides in Murree and Galiyat, while southern Punjab, Sindh and most parts of Balochistan are expected to remain hot and humid.

Meanwhile, authorities opened the spillways at Tarbela Dam, where water inflows are expected to range between 220,000 and 245,000 cusecs.

Residents living near the Indus River have been advised to avoid approaching waterways due to the expected rise in river flow.
