GWADAR: Heavy rainfall pounded Gwadar and surrounding areas on Tuesday, leading to the submersion of low-lying areas and prompting private schools to declare a day off. The downpour, accompanied by thunderstorms, caused flooding in local rivers, resulting in the sweeping away of a bridge over the Naheng river due to ferocious flooding triggered by the heavy rain.
Unprecedented rainfall in Kech district of Balochistan also resulted in road blockages, particularly on the route from Turbat to Mand in the Makran region.
