ISLAMABAD: Most parts of the country including federal capital are expected to receive monsoon rains from June 29, Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Director General Mehar Sahibzada Khan said on Wednesday.
Heavy rainfall during monsoon may trigger flash flooding in hilly and urban areas, he said while speaking to state-run TV.
He said that the national and provincial disaster management authorities following the Pakistan Meteorological Department's weather alerts of torrential rains have issued directives to the departments concerned to scale up disaster management activities to cope with the impending risk of flooding in urban areas.
