Lahore in Rain
Pakistan has been lashed with heavy downpour, floods and storms across its coastal areas, Karachi, Makran, NWFP and parts of the Punjab for the last few days. Hundreds have lost their lives while thousands are stranded as a result of continous heavy downpour.
Two day-fulls of rain has left Lahore with a bit of pleasant weather, increased humidity and puddles of rain water all over its streets.
Close to Gulberg – Pool on the road or is it a road through the pool…
Main Boulevard, Gulberg – What they call as Lahore’s Champs Elysees!
M.M.Alam Road – Lahore’s SoHo – famous for its eateries, designer restaurants, cafe’s, boutiques and upscale shops
When Champs Elysees gets flooded…
Main Boulevard, Gulberg – lanes on the green-belt side, turns all were under deep water
M.M.Alam Road – entering from Mini Market
There was at least a foot-deep water near the Hussain Chowk end of M.M.Alam Road
It’s just the beginning. Heavy showers are predicted throughout Pakistan which will cause further havoc in Baluchistan and NWFP… God bless us!
