The victim was identified as Madina Bibi.
The heavy rain inundated the Karakoram Highway and the Kakul Road, stranding several vehicles, motorbikes and passengers, especially near the Supply, Qureshi Pump, Jhangi, near Army Burns Hall College, opposite Ayub Medical Complex Hospital, Bilal Town and Hassan Town.
Drains overflowed because they remained choked with garbage with inner city roads also submerging in rainwater.
The downpour and windstorm also disrupted power supply as electricity poles and distribution lines were damaged due to uprooting and falling of trees on the poles, plunging the entire city into darkness.
Lightning damaged the main grid station on the Murree Road, but it was repaired quickly.
