Yesterday morning, a few families who were having breakfast at a hotel on the riverbank at the Swat bypass had landed in the dry part of the river when a flash flood suddenly came and swept everyone away.

According to the rescue, the affected family from Sialkot had come to Swat for a visit and were having breakfast sitting on the bank of the river. However, due to the rain, the river overflowed rapidly, and 10 members of the same family were swept away.

Reason for sudden floods in rivers

Due to climate change, an unusual increase in temperature and rapid melting of glaciers, sudden floods in the rivers are now becoming the norm.
