At least 12 people died in rain-related incidents in the metropolis since Thursday, Rescue officials said.

Eight of the victims died after they received fatal electric shocks, while three other persons died in wall collapses, Edhi Foundation and Chhipa officials said.

Numerous roads of the metropolis remained flooded and several areas were without electricity as monsoon showers hit the city for second consecutive day early on Saturday.
