Motorists drive through a flooded road caused by heavy rain in Peshawar, Pakistan on Monday, April 15, 2024. Lightning and heavy rains killed dozens of people, mostly farmers, across Pakistan in the past three days, officials said Monday, as authorities declared a state of emergency in the country’s southwest following an overnight rainfall to avoid any further casualties and damages.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in televised remarks that he had ordered authorities to provide relief aid in regions hit by rains. Pakistan’s water reservoirs would improve because of the rains, he said, while expressing concern over the deaths and damage.
