The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said on Tuesday that the death toll from rains, flash floods and landslides across the country has risen to 110 during the ongoing monsoon season.

The NDMA, in a briefing to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, said that some 360 people were injured in rain-triggered incidents across the country since June 26, while nearly 800 houses have been damaged.

Most of the deaths were reported in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, followed by Punjab.

The NDMA warned that several parts of the country could face flash floods and glacial lake outburst floods over the next month because of rapidly melting glaciers in northern areas.

PM Shehbaz ordered authorities to use “all available” resources, including early warning systems, to mitigate the impact of rains and floods.

Pakistan experiences heavy monsoon rains every year, typically from late June to September, often triggering widespread flooding and extensive damage to property.

Weather authorities have forecast another spell of heavy rain across northern and southern Pakistan in the next two days.

A day earlier, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecast a powerful monsoon spell from July 29 that could affect Islamabad, upper Punjab, KP, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and upper catchment areas of rivers. According to the PMD, the fresh spell is expected to last up to August 5. The weather department also warned that the upcoming monsoon system was expected to trigger urban flooding and rising water levels in rivers, hill streams and nullahs.

Meanwhile, the Punjab Home Department has imposed Section 144 across the province, banning swimming, bathing and unauthorised boating at various water bodies for 60 days.
