Three days of heavy rainfall in northern Pakistan caused severe flash flooding in parts of the capital Islamabad and surrounding areas on July 28, 2021, leaving at least 2 people dead. The heaviest rains fell from 05:00 to 06:30 PST.
In just a few hours, Saidpur village, located just north of the capital, recorded 123 mm (4.84 inches) of rainfall, while Golra Sharif in the Islamabad Capital Territory next to the E-11 sector received 103 mm (4.05 inches).
Police said 2 members of the same family died after their basement in sector E11/2 was flooded.
More heavy and locally very heavy rainfall is forecast over northern Pakistan, including Islamabad.

Was bound to happen! #Islamabad was lucky that due to an inclined terrain water would naturally drain and the city planners could overlook building up the water ways

Now as the surrounding area gets developed into elitist societies as well, it doesn’t look so good for the city. pic.twitter.com/EikVt4rGY1
