Locals said that rainwaters inundated dozens of houses causing damage to the structures and households in a number of areas in the district. However, no loss of life reported yet. The boundary wall of the APA Colony, which is situated adjacent to the Malakand Press Club, was collapsed due to continuous rains from the last three days.
