ABBOTTABAD:

Heavy downpours lashed various parts of Abbottabad district on Thursday, triggering flash floods that severely disrupted traffic and damaged infrastructure. The torrential rains blocked multiple sections of the Karakoram Highway (KKH) within Abbottabad city, leaving commuters stranded for hours.

According to authorities, all major nullahs and ravines in the district, including the River Door, swelled beyond their banks, creating dangerous conditions for nearby residents and motorists. The sudden surge of water from the upper catchment areas inundated low-lying localities.
