Gujrat city has experienced an unusually heavy spell of rain, receiving about 506 millimeters within just 20 hours. This extreme rainfall has caused serious urban flooding in different parts of Punjab.
Many areas were badly affected as drains and waterways overflowed. Roads such as Qamar Sialvi Road and Katchery Road were completely submerged, while WAPDA Colony also faced flooding. The Bhimber Nullah swelled to very dangerous levels, adding to the risk for people living nearby.
The heavy downpour did not only affect Gujrat. In Shakargarh and Zafarwal, residents also had to deal with flooding. Meanwhile, in Abbottabad, the strong flow of water led to flash floods that swept away a bridge. This incident cut off access to several villages, leaving the people there isolated.
Weather officials have warned that more heavy rainfall is likely to continue until September 5. This raises serious concerns about further flooding in already affected areas, and people are advised to remain alert and take precautions.
