DADU: A moderate spell of rain, coupled with strong winds, lashed a vast area of the Kohistan region turning weather pleasant on Saturday.

The areas which received the rain included Thana Bula Khan, Nooriabad, Tuko Baran, Kapat, Sari, Karchat, Mole and Khirthar National Park, besides parts of Superhighway.

Some parts of Naing Sharif and Kai mountains also received showers.

Deluges flowing down the mountainous areas of Thana Bula Khan, Khirthar and their surroundings started making their way into the outskirts of the low-lying New Baran via many towns and villages along their way.

Rainwater accumulated in the towns and dwellings affecting people’s daily routine, livelihoods and movement from one place to the other.

The rainfall remarkably brought down the otherwise high temperatures prevailing across the region for weeks.
