Two people belonging to a nomad, including a man and a teenager, were burnt to death due to lightning in the village of Killi Shadaizai area of Pishin district. Many houses were affected by lightning.

There are reports that the already rain-hit areas of the coastal district of Gwadar, Panjgur, Turbat, and Jewani. The new spell added more water to the areas which were already submerged in the coastal town of Gwadar, where efforts were underway to dewater the areas.

Under the new spell, the rain started in Quetta city and surrounding areas around 3 pm, which continued with small intervals causing urban flooding as many localities in Quetta flooded with rainwater and in slum areas, water entered mud houses.

The city roads and streets were also flooded with heavy rain, which badly affected the traffic, and people were facing massive traffic jams in different areas of Quetta.

The drains and sewerage system failed to drain out the rainwater, which was flowing on the main roads and streets in residential and commercial areas, causing great difficulties for pedestrians.

Many mud houses in localities on the outskirts of the provincial capital were damaged, forcing people to leave their houses and shift to safe places.

Officials said that other districts, including Khuzdar, Kalat, Mastung, Lasbela, Awaran, Chagai, Noshki, Washuk, Sibi, Nasirabad, Jaffarabad, Zhob, Sherani, Barkhan, Musa Khel, Kohlu, Jhal Magsi, Loralai, Ziarat, Chaman, Pishin, Qila Abdullah, and Qila Saifullah, were also receiving rain under the new rain spell.

According to reports, the seasonal rivers and streams were carrying flash floodwater as the catchment areas were receiving heavy rains.

Though no casualties were reported so far from any rain-hit area of the province, reports suggest that heavy rains were threatening mud houses and dikes as flash floods were hitting different areas due to continuous raining.

Reports reaching Makran, the Pasni, Ormara, and other towns located within the coastline were also receiving rain. Officials said that the majority of areas which were submerged after last week’s heavy rains in Gwadar were dewatered using heavy engines and pumps arranged by the Gwadar Development Authority and PDMA from the Sindh government.

The Meteorological Department said that due to torrential rains, there is a risk of flooding in Gwadar, Kech, Turbat, and Panjgur, as well as flooding in local streams. It also predicted snowfall in northern parts of Balochistan including Quetta.
