In addition to the areas around Islamabad, other places that are expected to receive rain are Chitral, Dir, Swat, Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Buner, Malakand, Bajaur, Mardan, Swabi, Nowshera, Peshawar, Mohmand, Kohat, and Dera Ismail Khan. Thunder and strong gusts are also predicted.

Murree, Galiyat, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujrat, Lahore, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Sargodha, Mianwali, Faisalabad, Jhang, DG Khan, Bhakkar, Multan, Khanewal, Rahim Yar Khan, Zhob, Shirani, Musakhel, Barkhan, Kohlu, Loralai, Sibbi, Harnai, Ziarat, Quetta, Qila Abdullah, Qila Saifullah, Dera Bugti, Jaffarabad, Kalat, Khuzdar, Turbat, Panjgur, Karachi, Hyderabad, Shaheed Benazirabad, Sukkur, Khairpur, Larkana, Tharparkar, Umarkot, Sanghar, Mithi, Thatta, Badin, Jamshoro, and Dadu.

Both Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are predicted to see rain, high gusts, and thunderstorms.

The city’s forecast is still gloomy in Lahore due to the intense humidity brought on by recent rainfall. Sabzazar H Block experienced power outages that lasted up to 48 hours due to interruptions in the supply system, as reported by the Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) in several regions.

Balambat in Timergara’s Maidan River has flooded as a result of heavy rains in Lower Dir. Periodic rains have caused water to infiltrate homes in Sharifabad, where rescue workers are attempting to remove the water using pumps. Swabi has seen this situation before. Rescue efforts are underway after two animals in Kotha were buried in the wreckage when a house’s roof fell from the rain.

Reshun Valley and other streams in Upper Chitral, as well as the Chitral and Lower Dir regions, have experienced significant flooding as a result of the recent rains. In addition to severely damaging homes, gardens, and farmland, the floods have also hampered traffic. Low-lying areas in Lower Chitral have been inundated by similar flooding that has been reported in the rivers of Koghuzi, Shishi Koh, and Kalash Valley.

A flood crisis resulted from late-night heavy rain in various locations in upper and lower Chitral. Damage was done to gardens, homes, and standing crops.

Extended rains in the Neelum, Jhelum, and Muzaffarabad valleys have brought beautiful weather, but they have also resulted in road closures, especially on the highway that connects Muzaffarabad to Rawalpindi at Kohala. Next day rain is expected, according to the Met Department.

Also, Dadu, Attock, and Mehr have had heavy showers and thunder, which has improved the weather.

Rivers in Balochistan’s northeastern districts have flooded as a result of heavy rains; rivers like the Nari, Tali, Lehri, and Mishkaf have recorded high water flow.

Traffic in Mahandri Bazaar was suspended and substantial damage was caused to Mahandri drain on the Kaghan highway in Mansehra due to extreme flooding. Presently, the Kaghan Valley is overrun by stranded tourists.

The Harnai-Quetta roadway is closed due to severe rainfall that continued through the night in Harnai and its surrounding areas, resulting in river and canal flooding. Farmlands in the area have also been harmed by the high-level flood discharge in the Zardalu river.

Rainy trains have begun to appear in rivers and canals, and the temperature has dropped in Khyber district and its suburbs as a result of the sporadic rain.

In Kalam’s upper regions, the rains in Swat have resulted in flooding. The wash-away of a temporary land route has suspended communication with the upper areas. In order to repair the passage, heavy machinery has arrived.

According to a spokesperson, all departments—including NHA—have been instructed to maintain vigilance, and efforts are on to maintain traffic on the highways in Swat, Kalam, and other popular tourist destinations.

The country is still facing major issues as a result of the severe rains, but authorities are trying to rectify the damage and help affected populations.

The chief minister of KP, Ali Amin Gandapur, has been granted three weeks of transit bail in his plea with the Peshawar High Court (PHC).

The appeal for information regarding charges against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was considered by a two-judge panel from the PHC, which included Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah.

The chief justice noted that the chief minister showed up for the court hearing, even though he was actually scheduled to be in Islamabad for an IMF meeting.

The applicant’s legal representative has asked for specifics of all pending charges against Chief Minister Gandapur, including those in Punjab.

According to the assistant attorney general, he told the ministry of the interior to adhere rigidly to court orders.

According to CJ Ibrahim, they have the option to request a response from the federal government and extend protection bail up to the Punjab region.

In every case, the additional attorney general ensured that court orders were implemented. He said that he had written to each district and requested details from the Punjab Police and the Inspector General.

The assistant attorney general has asked for an extension of three weeks to complete the report.

Gandapur could not attend the court daily due to his administrative duties and his position as chief minister and public office holder, according to Justice Asadullah.

After extending KP CM’s protective bail, the judge postponed the case hearing to December 17.

“Prepared to Protest”

Speaking to the media outside of PHC, KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur declared that he was prepared for the PTI protest meeting and that this time, the action plan will be stringent but undisclosed.

He emphasized that their peaceful protest was in accordance with their constitutionally protected right. According to him, his group was attacked, rubber bullets were shot, and routes were blocked so that protests couldn’t take place.

Importantly, on November 24th, Aleema Khan, who is the brother of PTI founder Imran Khan, said that her brother had called for a final protest.
