Balochistan have been without gas and electricity supply for the past six day
Most parts of Balochistan have been without gas and electricity supply for the past six days as the unprecedented floods triggered by the above-normal monsoon rains caused widespread devastations and badly disrupted daily life in the calamity-hit province.
With four more fatalities during the past 24 hours, the death toll from torrential rains and flash floods in Balochistan climbed to 248 since mid-June.
Mobile phone services have been disrupted for almost a week in the province due to the flash floods. Train service is suspended while most of the streets and highways have been washed away.
A day earlier, the Bolan River flooding swept away the National Highway, as well as the Bibi Nani and Pinjra bridges. Four bridges and seven link roads on the Ziarat-Quetta highway also were washed away.
Many localities in Ziarat, Pishin and Mastung were deluged. Balochistan’s most wheat-producing region, Manjhoo Shori, also got submerged under floodwaters.
