The downpour led to power outages and disruptions to mobile networks, flooded roads and houses, and triggered road accidents that left two women dead and several others injured, reported Dawn News.

According to the report, electricity supply to Quetta was suspended shortly after the rain began, plunging large parts of the city into darkness. Mobile phone services and communication networks were also severely affected, adding to the inconvenience faced by residents.

Traffic congestion was reported on several key roads across the city as waterlogged streets hampered movement.

Low-lying and downstream areas of Quetta were among the worst hit, with rainwater entering homes and causing particular damage to mud-built structures, the newspaper said.
