The school's access road was blocked, leading to reduced student attendance as some students were sent back due to concerns about further rain.\n\nThe Nara Amazai police station suffered damage to its boundary wall and three washrooms when the boundary wall of an adjacent rural health centre fell onto them. SHO Saeedur Rehman Khan confirmed the reported damage to Dawn.\n\nOn a separate incident, lightning struck the house of Bilal Hussain in Dambra Laqab village, damaging one room.

Despite the challenges, no loss of life was recorded in the aftermath of the heavy rain and resulting landslides.",
