Apart from the deaths of ordinary people, many houses have been destroyed by the rain and snow. Besides, many animals are trapped under the snow.
The rain and snow will continue for a few more days, PDMA warned. This will cover the hills of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with heavy snow.
Heavy rains have caused landslides in many places. Due to this, many people are trapped under their houses. A rescue operation is underway to rescue these trapped people.
Besides, many roads are closed due to rain and snow. Due to this, the public life of the common people has been disrupted.
The people of remote and hilly areas have suffered the most damage from this natural calamity. It is now feared that the highways may also be closed due to rain and snow. And if this happens, the people of those regions will face a big disaster.
