PM Shehbaz requests that the NDMA create plans to address urban floods.
According to him, areas that are in danger should have safeguards in place.

The province will experience a new rain spell starting on August 14th evening, according to a monsoon rainfall alert issued by the Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).
Precipitation is expected to start on August 14th evening and continue until August 18th, as per the PDMA, due to the systemic influence.
It is predicted that southern Punjab areas will see intermittent downpours and wind between August 15 and August 18.
All district and divisional administrations in Punjab have received an alert from the PDMA for the upcoming time.
Noteworthy is the fact that more monsoon rains are expected to begin falling in Pakistan on August 14 according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).
As of right now, a low-pressure system that is bringing heavy precipitation from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal to northwest India is expected to proceed into central Pakistan, according to the Met Office.
