Heavy rain raises flood concerns
Persistent monsoon rainfall has increased the flow of water in Nullah Lai, one of Rawalpindi’s major drainage channels.

Authorities remain on alert
Emergency and administrative authorities are keeping a close watch on the water situation as the rain continues.
The threat is particularly significant in low-lying areas where heavy rainfall can quickly overwhelm drainage systems and cause urban flooding.
Officials have also been monitoring key points along Nullah Lai to assess the potential impact of rising water levels.
Rainfall affects Rawalpindi and Islamabad
Heavy rain has affected several parts of the Rawalpindi-Islamabad region, with water accumulating on roads and in low-lying areas.
The continuing rainfall has also disrupted normal movement in some areas and increased concerns about traffic and drainage.
Residents have been advised to avoid unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall and exercise caution near drains, nullahs and flooded roads.
Flood risk remains dependent on further rainfall
The situation along Nullah Lai remains closely linked to the intensity and duration of further rainfall.
