At least 30 people were killed and 150 others injured in separate rain-related accidents in Pakistan's northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday, local media reported.
Samaa TV said that most of the causalities took place in separate incidents of roof-collapse due to torrential rains in provincial capital of Peshawar and its adjoining areas.
The injured, which include a large number of women and children, have been shifted to Lady Reading Hospital where the government has declared a state of emergency.
Rescue teams said that the number of causalities is feared to rise and the dead and injured people are still being retrieved from the debris of the collapsed houses.
The meteorology office has forecasted more heavy rains with windstorm for the next 24 hours in the province.
