Sukkur: Heavy monsoon rains hit the Sukkur division and surrounding areas late Friday night and continued into Saturday, causing significant disruption.

The intense rainfall inundated low-lying areas and disrupted the power supply.

Rainfall was reported across various parts of the Sukkur division and several localities in northern Sindh. This spell of rain provided some relief to the weather-weary residents but also led to widespread power outages.

Dozens of feeders from the Sukkur Electric Supply Company (SEPCO) tripped, plunging many areas into darkness.
