Heavy rains had caused significant damage in Gwadar, Makran, and northern and central parts of Balochistan, suspending normal life and traffic. The 30-hour-long rains triggered flash floods, submerging most areas. Paramilitary forces were called in for rescue and relief operations, and a state of emergency was declared by the Gwadar district administration in the rain-affected areas.
