According to reports, flash floods in Kalat River overnight resulted in widespread destruction, with floodwaters entering homes, washing away domestic belongings, and severely affecting the cotton crop. Local landlords have reportedly incurred losses amounting to millions of rupees due to the extensive damage to the cotton harvest.
