Heavy rains wreaked havoc in Gwadar, Kech district and other parts, suspending normal life and traffic on the Coastal Highway.
The district administration has declared a state of emergency in rain-hit areas of Gwadar while paramilitary forces have been called in to help the district administration in rescue and relief operations.
Flood waters entered residential and commercial areas and roads of
Gwadar town were presenting a pond-like situation.
A portion of the coastal highway linking Gwadar port with Karachi and other areas was washed away, say officials.
Gwadar Deputy Commissioner Aurangzeb Badini, along with chairman of Gwadar Municipal Committee Sharif Miandad and other officials concerned, visited the affected areas and launched rescue and relief operations.
Meanwhile, Jiwani has also been heavily affected by the heavy rains as three dams in the city broke and the boats in the sea drifted away.
