Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari contacted Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Monday after tensions escalated between Sindh and Punjab provinces over flood management. The president summoned Naqvi to Karachi for consultations as both provincial governments accused each other of mishandling relief operations. Pakistan Peoples Party leader Sharmila Farooqi challenged Punjab's performance on a morning program last week, and Punjab government spokesperson Uzma Bukhari accepted the comparison.
Heavy rainfall killed four people and injured 28 others in Punjab on Sunday after roofs and walls collapsed across multiple districts. The Provincial Disaster Management Authority reported record precipitation and warned that storms would continue through Tuesday in Rawalpindi, Murree, Galyat, Attock, Lahore, Jhelum, Gujrat, Sialkot, and Gujranwala. Two people sustained injuries in Lahore when building sections fell due to the storm. Floods displaced millions across Pakistan as political leaders debated relief transparency.
