ABBOTTABAD, Jul 30 (APP):In a tragic incident amid the ongoing heavy monsoon downpours, a mud house collapsed in Darveshabad, located within the jurisdiction of Bakot Police Station, resulting in the death of two young girls here on Wednesday.
According to local sources, the house, owned by Abdul Rasheed, was constructed from mud and could not withstand the persistent rainfall that has been lashing the region as part of the current monsoon season. At the time of the collapse, the two girls were inside the house and were buried under the debris.
Residents, acting swiftly, carried out a rescue operation on a self-help basis and managed to recover girls from the rubble. However, both had succumbed to their injuries by the time they were pulled out.
The incident highlights the growing vulnerability of mud structures during the monsoon season, which has already caused widespread damage and disruption across several areas of Hazara Division.
