Parliament House Roofs Start Leaking After Heavy Islamabad Rain

Heavy rain in Islamabad has caused leaks inside Parliament House, with water pooling on floors. Leaks were reported near the Senate Hall lobby, affecting the Chamber of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and damaging his Principal Staff Officer’s room. Staff members placed dustbins to contain the water.

Islamabad and Rawalpindi declared a rain emergency, and authorities deployed teams and machinery to prevent urban flooding. Water levels in Nullah Lai reached 10.5 feet in Kattarian and 8.5 feet in Gawalmandi, with Shamsabad recording the highest rainfall at 116 millimeters. Emergency teams monitor vulnerable areas, ready to address further rises in water levels.
