At least 35 villages in two districts have been inundated by flood waters following heavy rainfall, officials said. Villages in Pasrur and Sialkot districts are flooded in four feet of water. The floods damaged standing crops on hundreds of acres of land, officials reported. Some residents of these villages moved to safe places with their cattle and belongings.
There were no reports of casualties so far. Traffic on Pasrur’s three main roads — Sialkot-Pasrur road, Daska-Pasrur road and Pasrur-Zafarwal-Narowal road — was suspended after they were flooded by three to four feet of rain water. There is an acute shortage of food and potable water for people and fodder for cattle in flood-hit villages.
