A landslide in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Upper Dir region has claimed 12 lives, including women and children. The victims were buried under a house when the landslide struck. Rescue efforts are underway, but the incident has shocked the local community.
Meanwhile, a heavy rainfall alert has been issued for Karachi and other districts of Sindh. Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz reported that a low-pressure system is currently 190 kilometers east of Karachi. There is a high chance that this system will intensify into a cyclone today, though it is expected to move towards Oman. The risk of the cyclone directly hitting coastal areas has diminished, but there remains a threat of rain and strong winds.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has highlighted the importance of integrating Baloch youth into the national mainstream. He noted that efforts have been made to sow seeds of hatred in Balochistan, stressing the need to counter such influences.
In Balochistan, stormy rains continue, further complicating the situation. The heavy downpour has led to the disruption of gas supply in several areas, adding to the challenges faced by the residents.
As authorities monitor the evolving weather situation, the people of Karachi and Sindh are urged to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions. The government remains focused on addressing both the immediate and long-term challenges posed by these natural disasters.
