ABBOTABAD:
Two days of continuous torrential rain coupled with snowfall on Monday brought daily life to a standstill in the Hazara division.

The KKH and other roads were also blocked in Abbottabad, Mansehra and Battagram while the traffic was jammed for hours. In Abbottabad city, due to the choked sewerage system, after heavy rain, all the filth entered houses and streets with the flash flood and swept the furniture and household items in several parts of the city.
