ISLAMABAD, Aug 15 (Alliance News): The National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has forecast more rain, wind, and thunderstorms in various parts of Pakistan until August 18. The regions likely to be affected include Azad Kashmir’s Neelum and Jhelum river areas, several districts in Balochistan, and parts of Sindh.

Emergency Response Teams have been alerted, and resources are being mobilized to respond quickly to any emergencies. Tourists are advised to avoid traveling to these regions during this period.
