A wild storm triggered landslides and collapsed houses in the rugged Kohistan district early on Monday, killing 22 people, an official said. Many of the casualties were trapped inside collapsing buildings in Rano Mera village, according to Kohistan District Coordination Officer Saeed Khan Aurakzai. Relief and rescue teams, including doctors, were rushed to the remote village to treat the injured, whose numbers were not immediately known, Aurakzai said. He said floods wreaked havoc in the area and a number of houses had been demolished. He feared the death toll could rise, adding that three mosques were also washed away. Karakoram Highway was closed for traffic at Patan, he said. Orakzai said locals were retrieving the bodies. So far 13 bodies have been recovered, he said. Some of those killed were identified as Jamdad, Abdul Rehman, Sikandar, Ishaq, Hajasab, Lado, Abdul Majeed and Abdul Qawi. NWFP Chief Minister Muhammad Akram Durrani has announced Rs 100,000 each in compensation for the heirs of deceased, and Rs 50,000 and Rs 25,000 for those who sustained severe and minor injuries respectively. Heavy monsoon rains and storms lashed many parts of the country late on Sunday and early on Monday. In Islamabad, roads were cut by low-level flooding and falling tree branches. Parts of Karachi remained inundated on Monday, four days after a violent storm left at least 35 dead, most of whom were electrocuted or crushed by falling roofs or walls.
