The rain caused urban flooding and damage to infrastructure.

According to Punjab caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, three people died due to electrocution, two were killed in roof collapses and a young girl drowned, reports Dawn News.

He told Dawn News Lahore had received “record” rainfall today, which the interim CM claimed was unexpected.

“We have dispatched teams across the city to clear main roads and drain water from submerged areas.”

Naqvi said areas such as Muslim Town, Garden Town and Gulberg were majorly inundated due to the overflow of water from the Lahore Canal.

He further stated that another spell of rain was expected to hit the city at 9pm and the authorities were preparing for that, adding that he was monitoring the efforts himself.
