RAWALPINDI/ISLAMABAD – At least eleven labourers were killed, and parts of Rawalpindi submerged, with people living along Nullah Lai ordered to vacate their houses after the city received over 200mm of rain on Wednesday – the heaviest this monsoon season.
But it is not just the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad as the downpour started lashing upper parts of the country late Tuesday night, extending to others on Wednesday morning.
These deaths resulted from a wall collapse in the Golra Morr area – located on Peshawar Road – as the Rescue 1122 officials reached to spot save the lives of those still buried under the rubble.
