Islamabad:
The torrential downpour abused the Federal Capital on Monday, causing sudden flood in a drainage of rainwater in the Saidpur area. The increase led to the collapse of a wall under construction as part of a development project, causing significant damage to nearby houses.
The rainwater overflowed with the drain and the streets and the flooded houses, creating serious difficulties for residents. The locals blamed bad planning and lack of security measures in the ongoing development work for the incident and have appealed to the authorities for immediate relief.
The attached commissioner of Islamabad, Irfan Nawaz Memon, visited the affected area along with the ADCG and other officials to assess the damage. He said that illegal invasions around the drain were an important cause of water flow obstruction and confirmed that an operation to eliminate them is underway.
According to the DC, legal notices had been served before the anti-commentary campaign began, but due to the lack of cooperation of the occupants, the application had to begin. He assured residents that the operation would continue until all illegal structures are eliminated.
The district administration also confirmed that a vehicle swept in the drain had recovered safely. The DC has ordered all relevant departments to take immediate caution measures to avoid similar incidents in the future.
According to the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) Rawalpindi, Saidpur Village received 145 mm of rain in 3.5 hours, which caused sudden floods in seasonal currents. Water flowed above the bridge levels in several areas, while the current was swept by the current. Since then, the vehicle has been recovered.
The Met Office clarified that the situation did not qualify as a cloudburst. “Saidpur recorded 124 mm of rain in 2.5 hours, while Golra saw 46 mm. A cloud is when the rain exceeds 100 mm in an hour,” said the official.
In neighboring Rawalpindi, water levels in Nullah Leh also increased abruptly. Wasa has declared an emergency of rain and issued a red alert. In the Katarian bridge, the water level reached 14 feet, while in Gawalmandi it rose to 6.5 feet. Emergency equipment has been mobilized to administer the situation.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has predicted stronger rain in the next 12 hours, warning up to 50 mm in the Potohar region. The administration of the territory of the capital of Islamabad (ICT) said that the monitoring of seasonal currents and the Nullahs is in progress to avoid overflow or urban floods. Special equipment has been deployed to guarantee a soft water flow, particularly in flood -prone areas.
