Monsoon showers are known to be tough. (Here, ‘tough’ is only very mildly put.) They can cause flash floods and drown everything that comes in the way. In Lahore, the current spell has led to what is being termed a “rain emergency.” Over a dozen casualties have been reported. Most of the deaths were caused by collapsing of roofs. Met officials have warned of an extended monsoon season; a disaster alert for the common man.
