Pakistan’s Punjab initiates survey to assess flood damages as death toll reaches 112
KARACHI: The government in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province announced on Tuesday it had initiated a survey to assess damages caused by devastating floods, as the death toll from deluges since late August rose to 112. Heavy monsoon rains and excess water released by Indian dams caused rivers flowing through Punjab to swell last month. Floodwaters inundated over 4,700 villages in Pakistan’s breadbasket Punjab province, destroying large swathes of standing crops, homes and forcing millions to shift to safer locations.
