Torrential monsoon rains and mudslides hit Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hazara and Malakand divisions early on Sunday, destroying homes and killing at least 17 people, police said.
A majority of the casualties occurred when lightning struck three houses located in the Jhatka area within Judba tehsil in Torghar.
At least 14 members of a family were killed in the lightning incident. The families of two brothers were living in the affected houses.
“I am personally supervising the rescue operation and the injured have been moved to the hospital and roads are also cleared for traffic. The affected families will be facilitated, and tents and foods will be provided to them,” Dawn News quoted area Assistant Commissioner Azhar Zahoor as saying in a report.
Rescue officer Mohammed Nawaz said three homes were completely swept away in the remote village of the district, while other houses were less affected.
Zahoor said that a cattle pen was also damaged due to the heavy rain, while a tractor slipped, killing its driver. Furthermore, the rain caused landslides and road closures.
Meanwhile, the roof of a house collapsed in Abbottabad’s Kakul area and buried seven members of a family underneath its rubble. Three bodies have been recovered and two injured retrieved from the debris as the rescue operation continues.
According to rescue sources, the house’s roof collapsed due to heavy rain. The bodies and the injured were moved to Ayub Medical Complex in Abbottabad.
The disaster management authorities said they were dispatching relief aid to the affected area but mudslides in mountainous areas were delaying delivery. Efforts were underway to clear the roads.
