Heavy and intermittent rainfall across Rawalpindi, Islamabad and other upper and central parts of the country has caused a sharp rise in water levels in Nullah Lai, with the water level reportedly reaching <strong>22 feet at New Katarian and Gawalmandi<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In view of the worsening situation, the district administration and the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) sounded danger sirens and directed residents living around Nullah Lai to immediately move to safer locations.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Islamabad also received significant rainfall, with <strong>66 millimetres recorded in Saidpur<\/strong>, among the highest totals reported in the capital. WASA teams and heavy machinery have been placed on high alert, while drainage operations are continuing in low-lying areas.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Meanwhile, torrential rain in Islamabad caused water leakage from the roofs of Metrobus stations, with rainwater reportedly accumulating on passenger seats and creating difficulties for commuters. Several roads, including those in <strong>F-7, F-8 and Khanna East<\/strong>, were also affected by water accumulation, disrupting traffic.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Heavy rainfall has also affected several cities in Punjab, including <strong>Gujrat, Narowal, Shakargarh and Mandi Bahauddin<\/strong>, where roads and low-lying areas have been inundated. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Swabi district, stormy rains caused low-lying areas and streams to overflow.<\/h4>\n<h4>The Meteorological Department has warned that the spell of rain is expected to continue over the coming days.
