A number was restored by the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) for emergencies.

However, according to the citizens, that number is also not accessible when they call.

On the other hand, the PTCL spokesperson said that the helpline numbers are blocked due to cable cuts. Teams have been working to restore the helpline.

The latest showers this season have inflicted heavy damages to property, wrecking the city’s neglected infrastructure, flooding streets, and multiple neighbourhoods, and causing traffic jams on major busy routes.

Moreover, the rains have resulted in a loss of multiple lives.
