The authority says a hundred villages have been flooded in Badin after a breach in a major salinity drain widened further to 200 feet.Villages and crops have been flooded in Pangrio while a grid station has also been inundated.A large number of people have been marooned at dry spots in Badin, Tando Mohammad Khan and Mirpur Khas after being surrounded by flood waters.

Express 24/7 correspondent Ahmed Jung reported that locals have gathered to help displaced villagers, but no camps have been set up yet.

ISLAMABAD: Torrential rains filled all water streams in Punjab and posed a flood threat in the province while Badin district in Sindh was declared calamity hit on Saturday, DawnNews reported.

A lage number of villages have been cut off from the out side world and hundreds of people marooned.The continuous heavy downpour has adversely affected Kharif crops of cotton and paddy and washed away vegetables and fodder on thousands of acres in lower region of the province.In Punjab, incessant rains brimmed Dek Nullah while high level flood is being feared in Ek Nullah near Daska.Punjab Natural Disaster Management Authority director General (r) Khalid Sher said that 20,000 cusecs of water was flowing from Ek Nullah. He said that emergency has been declared in Sialkot, Daska, Wazirabad and Khanki, a private news channel reported.Many areas near Daska submerged after the banks of Ek Nullah wilted against water.Villages in the outskirts of Dek Nullah were inundated. Kasur Rohi Nullah played havoc and flooded dozens of villages and hundreds of acres of agricultural land.Authorities feared worse flooding was to come in and around Karachi and tried to evacuate people from their homes elsewhere along the country’s southern coastline. Some villagers refused to move, but several thousand people shifted to higher ground, said Hamal Kalmati, a government minister in Baluchistan province.He said many mud houses in Gawadar and Pasni districts had already collapsed.
The storm made landfall late Sunday to the east of Karachi, bringing winds as high as 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour. The meteorological department said ocean storm surges of between 2 and 4 meters were likely in Karachi and other coastal towns.The storm was forecast to lose strength as it moved inland. Originally of cyclone strength, Tropical Storm Phet hit Oman on Friday, killing at least two people and causing widespread flooding.

In Karachi, hours of rain left roads under more than one foot (30 centimeters) of water. Electricity was cut in many districts in the mostly low-lying city of 18 million people.Many parts of Karachi and other towns along Pakistan’s coast are desperately poor. Roads, bridges, houses and drainage systems are already in bad condition, making them vulnerable to high winds, heavy rain and rough seas.The heavy rains were welcomed by some residents in Karachi, which is baking in the summer heat.

“Let the storm come. We are not afraid,” said Saeed Ali, a 17-year student who was playing cricket on a normally busy street. “We rarely get rain in summer. This is a golden moment
