A sudden cloudburst in Mahore triggered a flash flood late Thursday, damaging seven houses and washing away a stretch of road. The deluge struck with little warning, leaving families scrambling for safety as water and debris rushed through the area.
Local officials confirmed that several homes suffered structural damage, while the connecting road was rendered impassable. Rescue teams have been deployed to assist affected families, and temporary shelters are being arranged for those displaced.
The administration has urged residents to remain cautious, as cloudbursts in hilly terrain often lead to sudden flooding and landslides. Efforts are underway to restore road connectivity and provide relief to the victims.
This incident underscores the vulnerability of mountainous regions like Mahore to extreme weather events, where a few minutes of heavy rain can cause widespread destruction.
