SUKKUR: The recent torrential rains across Sindh have led to catastrophic consequences, with the death toll climbing to nine and significant damage reported across the province. The deluge has caused numerous roof collapses, affecting key areas including Khairpur, Sukkur, Nara, and other surrounding cities. The rains have also severely impacted local agriculture, damaging crops such as cotton and date palms.
In Haji Shah Dost Banglani village near Baho Khoso, a roof collapse claimed the lives of 50-year-old Ayesha Banglani and her 4-year-old grandson Mahmood Banglani. Additionally, Nehalan, a 25-year-old woman, sustained injuries from the incident. Thana Bola Khan witnessed another tragic event where 65-year-old Ali Muhammad Barfat and his 22-year-old daughter Shahzadi died due to a roof collapse, with over 60 homes destroyed in the area. Similarly, in Darya Khan Mari, a roof collapse resulted in the death of 12-year-old Tufailan and injuries to three other family members.
In Mirpurkhas, continuous rainfall has led to severe flooding in lower-lying areas and a complete power outage. In Bhan Saeedabad, Kashif Mughal was electrocuted while attempting to climb an electric pole during the rain. Additionally, a house collapse in Ali Murad Hesbani village resulted in serious injuries to Manthar Ali Hesbani and the death of his 10-year-old son, Ranaq Ali Hesbani. In Phal Khan Baghio village, 8-year-old Ayan Ali drowned in rainwater, and 26-year-old Shafi Muhammad Bugti died in an accident related to the severe weather conditions.
Flooding has also wreaked havoc in Bhirya City, Kandyari, and Nawab Shah, with continuous rain causing widespread destruction and disrupting communication systems. Areas such as Dour city and Shahpurchakar are experiencing significant flooding, with low-lying regions and public infrastructure submerged. The situation remains critical as intermittent rains continue to exacerbate flooding and damage across Sindh.
