Since late June 2025, Pakistan has been ravaged by a deadly combination of glacial lake outburst floods, cloudbursts, and relentless monsoon rain, claiming at least 293 lives and injuring over 600 people across the country from the Himalayan north to southern plains . Critical infrastructure, homes, roads, and local economies have been severely damaged. Rescue teams evacuated over 500 tourists stranded by a cloudburst, while authorities issued urgent alerts amid forecasts of another impending monsoon spell. Climate vulnerabilities, accelerated glacier melt, and inadequate early warning systems have heightened the scale of devastation. (PC: The Times of India)
