Pakistan: Incessant rains kill 18 people

Islamabad, July 26 (UNI) Continuous rains which have inundated several Pakistan cities leading to flash floods across the country, have left at least 18 more people dead, Dawn reported on Tuesday.
People began protesting against the administration as incessant rain led to severe water logging in several areas in the Sindh. People were angry due to hours-long power outages and inundation of residential areas as they complained that officials were nowhere to be found.
Rains have particularly spelt misery for the city of Karachi. Though the fresh spell of the current monsoon season had weakened in Karachi, it still claimed 11 more lives in a single day: five people lost their lives due to electrocution, while six persons drowned.
