Heavy monsoon rains continue to trigger flooding, road closures, and supply shortages as authorities warn of further downpours across vulnerable regions.
Heavy monsoon rains and flooding continued to disrupt daily life across Pakistan on Sunday, with rising river levels, overflowing streams, and damaged infrastructure affecting multiple regions. Authorities have warned that additional rainfall could worsen the situation in vulnerable areas.
In Punjab’s Mianwali district, a protective embankment along the Indus River was breached after water levels surged, allowing floodwater to enter nearby residential neighborhoods. Emergency officials are monitoring the situation as residents assess the damage.
Low-level flooding also persists along the Ravi River, while in Sindh’s Dadu district, rising water in the Gaj River has severed road links to more than 10 villages. The disruption has made it difficult for residents to travel and obtain essential food, medicine, and other daily necessities.
In the desert region of Nangarparkar in Tharparkar district, more than 150 millimeters of rainfall has been recorded over the past two days, increasing the risk of localized flooding and waterlogging.
Karachi also received overnight rainfall, according to data released by the Pakistan Meteorological Department, with several neighborhoods recording measurable precipitation.
Northern Pakistan has also been affected. In Gilgit-Baltistan, rainfall in Chilas and surrounding areas has swollen streams and seasonal waterways, raising concerns about additional flooding and travel disruptions. The Astore Valley Road has remained closed for six consecutive days, contributing to shortages of food and other essential supplies in affected communities.
