One of the worst-hit locations was Jhika Gali, where several houses were damaged after land slipped in the area. A number of key roads were also affected, creating problems for traffic and local movement.
According to the highways department, the impacted roads have been cleared and work is underway to fully restore traffic flow as quickly as possible.

He further said a building had been allocated in Jhika Gali for immediate accommodation, while two affected families had been shifted to rented houses.
The deputy commissioner said all relevant departments had been put on alert, rescue teams were present in the field, and administrative officers were continuously monitoring the affected areas to prevent further damage.
