Heavy rain floods Gujrat within an hour; disruptions reported in several Punjab cities

An hour-long spell of heavy rain once again inundated Gujrat city, submerging low-lying areas and causing severe inconvenience for residents. Several feet of water accumulated in neighborhoods and streets, and in a worrying incident, a motorcyclist fell into an open manhole but was rescued by bystanders.

Government offices, including the Deputy Commissioner’s office, were also flooded, halting official work. Meanwhile, parts of Lahore also received rainfall, while heavy rain and hail in Faisalabad brought relief from the sweltering heat. In Sangla Hill, the downpour caused multiple power feeders to trip, disrupting the electricity supply.
