The death toll from two days of heavy monsoon rains in upper parts of the country has risen to 15, officials said on Wednesday.
The heaviest rains seen in Lahore since 1980 continued into Wednesday, flooding streets and causing some residents to join small demonstrations against local authorities. Rescue officials and police confirmed the death toll, saying most deaths were caused by electrocution and homes caving in.
The city’s submerged streets and widespread power breakdowns exposed the lack of preparedness of civic departments to deal with the monsoon downpour.
