A new spell of rains in Balochistan severely damaged Pakistan Railways infrastructure.

The railways' track was damaged at more than 50 places on the Taftan section due to heavy rains. Pakistan Railways has resumed track rehabilitation work in the affected areas in Balochistan.

It is pertinent to note that, the Sibi-Harnai section and Chaman section are protected from the effects of rains.

There are also reports that several cattle were swept away in the flood due to heavy rain in Balochistan.

The Meteorological Department (PDMA) has predicted heavy rain, thunderstorms, and hail across the province until April 29.

The impending weather system is expected to bring stormy rains to various districts, prompting authorities to issue precautionary advisories.

The weather office advised farmers to remain vigilant amid the stormy rains for wheat harvesting season.

In northern Balochistan, including Chaman city and its surrounding areas, the weather has taken a chilly turn as rain persists. Residents find themselves bundling up against the sudden drop in temperature. The Chaman deputy commissioner has alerted the administration throughout the district.

However, this respite comes at a cost as the supply of electricity has been disrupted, plunging neighbourhoods into darkness and causing inconvenience to the populace.

Furthermore, intermittent rain continues in Kohlu and its surrounding areas, due to which, the low-lying areas have been flooded and electricity supply suspended.

Jacobabad and its surroundings experienced heavy rain accompanied by strong winds, offering a refreshing change in weather. However, similar to Chaman, the joy was short-lived as power outages followed swiftly, adding to the woes of the local residents.
