ZIARAT (Dunya News) – Two of the three women, who accidentally fell into a dam in the Killi Zazagi area of southwesterb Balochistan, have been pulled out alive by rescuers with search efforts still underway for the third one.

According to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), the two rescued women were immediately rushed to District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital for medical care.

The incident has once again raised alarm bells over safety at recreational spots, especially during the summer season when families flock to hill stations like Ziarat.

In a separate but equally heartbreaking incident in Zhob, three sisters and their niece lost their lives after being swept away by a flash flood.

The victims, part of a six-member family group on a picnic, were caught off guard when their vehicle was hit by a sudden torrent of floodwater.
