MURREE: Continuous heavy rainfall in Murree triggered multiple landslides, causing rocks and trees to fall onto roads and disrupting traffic on several major routes. District authorities and rescue teams launched immediate clearance and restoration operations.
According to the district administration, a building on the Lakot Expressway collapsed after it had already been declared unsafe and evacuated, preventing any loss of life. A tree also fell on a vehicle on the Awain Expressway, while a landslide temporarily blocked the road at Pindi Point.
