CHITRAL / PESHAWAR / KOHISTAN / SWAT / JAMRUD / QUETTA / MULTAN / DG KHAN / ISLAMABAD:

Flash floods triggered by glacial lake outbursts and cloudbursts ravaged Chitral for the fifth consecutive day on Monday.

The Pakistan Army is carrying out rescue missions, while Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak has doled out Rs1 million for providing immediate assistance.

Infrastructure has been the worst-hit and the upper areas of the district have virtually been cut off from the rest of Chitral, leaving as many as 200,000 people stranded.
