PESHAWAR: In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, widespread rains resulted in a tragic incident in the Malakand district where a man lost his life and two of his children were injured as their roof collapsed due to the heavy rains.
The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) reported that the incident occurred in the Hari Sakhakot area of the Malakand district. Gul Muhammad was trapped under the debris and succumbed to his injuries, while his daughter Maryam and 18-year-old relative named Shah Wazir sustained injuries. The injured children were promptly transferred to a hospital, where their conditions were described as stable.
Furthermore, the rains triggered landslides in Chitral and Dir districts, leading to the blockage of several roads.
