The authority said that the country's southwest Balochistan province remained the worst-hit area during the ongoing monsoon, where 188 people were killed and 75 others injured in various incidents of roof collapse, electrocution, and drowning due to flash floods and rising water levels in rivers, streams, and drainages.
