However, in the latest advisory, the deputy commissioner said that all roads in Islamabad were clear for traffic.
Videos from Islamabad's sectors E-11 and D-12 show cars floating in gushing waters after heavy rains that lashed the twin city for hours.
Earlier in July, a cloudburst wreaked havoc in the village of Salkhala in Azad Kashmir’s Neelum district, destroying 16 houses and caused partial damage to 12 houses.
