On August 24, 2025, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa issued a flood warning as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasted heavy rainfall across the province, potentially causing flash floods and landslides. The alert follows deadly storms in Dera Ismail Khan, where seven people died due to roof collapses.

The PMD predicts heavy downpours in Chitral, Swat, Shangla, Buner, Kohistan, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Charsadda, Nowshera, Swabi, and Mardan, risking flash floods in streams and rivers. Landslides may disrupt road access in mountainous areas, while urban flooding threatens low-lying parts of Peshawar, Nowshera, and Mardan. Strong winds could damage mud houses, electricity poles, and billboards, per the PDMA.

In Dera Ismail Khan, torrential rains and winds toppled trees and power lines, killing seven and injuring dozens, per rescue officials. KP government spokesperson Faraz Mughal called the losses “deeply saddening,” noting Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s directive for heightened alert status. Hospitals in the area are under emergency protocols, with Rescue 1122 and power restoration teams deployed. In Islamabad and Rawalpindi, flash floods submerged Bhara Kahu, closing Margalla Hills trails for safety.

The PMD warns of heavy rains across Islamabad, Rawalpindi, north-eastern Punjab, Kashmir, and Dera Ghazi Khan, with potential waterlogging in Gujranwala, Lahore, Sialkot, Faisalabad, and Sargodha. Punjab’s PDMA reported rising water levels in the Ravi, Chenab, Sutlej, and Jhelum rivers, with the Sutlej at high levels near Ganda Singh Wala for the next 48 hours, risking floods in northern districts.

The PDMA has mobilised local administrations, police, and rescue services, urging residents to avoid riverbanks, unnecessary travel, and use the NDMA Disaster Alert App or helpline 1129 for updates. With 700 flood-related deaths nationwide in 2025, the government emphasises stricter regulations on waterway constructions to mitigate risks.
