ISLAMABAD: At least eleven people were dead when a wall collapsed in the Golra Morr area due to heavy rainfall on Wednesday. 

As per details, heavy rain continues to lash parts of Rawalpindi and the people living along Nullah Lai have been ordered to vacate their houses after a surge in the water level.

After getting information about the accident, the rescue teams reached the spot and retrieved the bodies of 11 people with the help of heavy machinery.
