GWADAR:

Tropical Cyclone Phet has caused losses of billions of rupees in Gwadar, while the land route will stay shut for five more days.


As much as 70 per cent of the houses in Gwadar have been affected by the cyclone and the heavy rainfall preceeding it.


Launches worth millions have been destroyed on the coast, and the power supply system is completely disrupted in the area.


The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has sent its first stock of aid for Gwadar affectees including food, tents, medicine, blankets and clothes.


A PAF spokesperson confirmed that two planes will be providing supplies on daily basis until the situation normalizes.

Topak Khan | 14 years ago | Reply Thank God, Tribune realised that Pakistan exists outside karachi defense as well, and that Phet has indeed caused devastation, so much for all the articles by so called experts (or rather aspiring) writing from their generator powered air conditioned rooms that Phet fizzled out. Tribune felt like a college news letter in past few days by focusing only on the news that the cyclone has spared karachi and hence assumed that it did not caused any damage.
