At least 37 people were killed and several others injured as heavy rain lashed parts of Pakistan, leading to landslides that blocked roads and the collapse of buildings, Pakistani authorities said on Sunday.
Nearly 30+ people have been injured in the torrential rains that hit ten districts, including Bajaur, Swat, Lower Dir, Malakand, Khyber, Peshawar, North, South Waziristan, and Lakki Marwat, of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in the past 48 hours.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister KPK Ali Amin Gandapur assured that those affected by rain-related incidents would not be abandoned by the authorities and would be duly compensated for the damages they sustained.
