Rainwater enters Parliament House in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD: Rainwater entered Parliament House as heavy monsoon showers constantly pour in Islamabad on Monday.

Heavy rain has converted most roads in the capital city into canals where routine life has been disturbed badly by the rapidly flowing rainwater.
According to the Meteorological Department, till now, more than 85 millimeters of rain has been recorded in Islamabad.
All meetings at Parliament House have been cancelled today as rainwater has entered many committee rooms and is constantly filling other areas as well, according to a private TV channel. Seeing no break in the ongoing heavy rain showers in the twin cities, authorities have put all rescue agencies on high alert to control all types of emergency situations in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
