At least 15 people were feared dead after a powerful cloudburst struck Dalori Gadoon in Swabi, submerging homes and triggering landslides in the mountainous area, officials confirmed on Monday.
12 houses submerged in Dalori Gadoon
Swabi Deputy Commissioner (DC) Nasrullah said 12 houses were completely submerged as heavy water flow swept through the village. The powerful torrents caused significant destruction, leaving many families stranded. According to initial reports, multiple casualties are feared as houses collapsed under the pressure of water.
Landslides add to destruction
Being a mountainous region, Dalori Gadoon also experienced landslides at several points, further complicating rescue operations. Roads leading to the affected areas were partially blocked, delaying relief efforts.
