Senate body told countr­y is expect­ed to face flash floods in summerISLAMABAD: As torrential rains lash different parts of the country, the Federal Flood Commission has issued warnings of flash floods. As per latest reports, heavy rains and floods have damaged wheat, gram and maize crops in Punjab. Pakistan has witnessed devastating floods in the past, with the one in 2010 being the worst ever in the country’s history. Pakistan should also follow the Chinese model to turn floods into an opportunity. Pakistan also lacks water storages and needs more dams to store water in times of floods to save human lives and crops.
