Eastern #Punjab, #Sindh continue facing #monsoon brunt
LAHORE/KARACHI (MNP) Eastern parts of Punjab received heavy downpour on Tuesday morning as rain lashed Sindh – including Karachi, Hyderabad and Dadu – for the third day consecutive day, inundating low-lying areas amid a depleted civic infrastructure.
The death toll during the ongoing monsoon season continues to rise as woman was killed with her husband and sister receiving injuries as the roof of their house collapsed at Yar Muhammad Barohi village of Shahdad Kot, Sindh.
Separately, a girl buried alive when in another roof collapse incident at Allahabad – a town in Kasur district of Punjab where three persons, including children, were injured in two similar incidents in Narang Mandi and Chunian.
Clouds started developing over eastern Punjab after midnight with rain starting to pour down before sunrise in Pakpattan, Bahawalnagar, Okara, Kasur and other areas.
