10 dead as roofs collapse due to heavy rains in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Heavy rains in various areas of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have severely disrupted daily life. As a result of various incidents caused by climate change and continuous rainfall, 10 people have lost their lives so far.
According to local authorities, most of the deaths occurred due to the collapse of house roofs. Due to the heavy rains, the walls and roofs of old houses had become weak and could not withstand the constant pressure of water. Rescue teams reached the affected areas immediately and began relief operations to extract those buried under the rubble.
The administration has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas and has directed people to take precautionary measures. The Meteorological Department has predicted that the rains may continue in the coming days, raising the risk of flooding in streams and drains.
The government has announced the allocation of special funds to assist the victims so that displaced families can be provided with temporary shelter and medical facilities. Citizens have been urged to avoid living in mud houses and to contact the district administration in case of any emergency.
