GWADAR: Sea water entered government offices, including an FC checkpost, along the western coast of the port town as Arabian Sea continued to throw away high tides on Saturday.

Although the Met office said that the cyclone would not hit any area along coastlines of Sindh and Balochistan, strong winds and high tides have disrupted life in Gwadar and other coastal towns of Balochistan.

The road linking Gwadar with the main coastal highway was inundated, leaving it unusable.
