GILGIT: Cloudburst-induced floods wreaked havoc in Thore Valley of Diamer district on Saturday, while rapidly melting glaciers continued to raise water levels in rivers and streams across Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), putting downstream communities at increasing risk.
According to local police, flash floods triggered by a cloudburst over nearby mountains caused widespread devastation in Thore Valley. Several homes, hundreds of acres of farmland, orchards, trees, and both public and private property were damaged.
