The monsoon season has officially begun all around the country, and if you’re from Karachi, we feel you! It has been raining cats and dogs in Lahore and the internet just can’t contain itself.
The intensity of the rain was such that the main entrance gate of the Lahore fort collapsed to the ground.
A minor was killed and 13 were left injured in different incidents in Lahore after heavy rains lashed the city on Tuesday. Citizens were stuck and the city had to see some of the worst traffic jams.
Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar personally drove to the affected areas and reviewed the drainage arrangements and problems of people after heavy showering. He also gave lift to children and women stuck due to rain.

And while some people were annoyed by the nuance bought about by the rain, others were loving it!
