ZHOB, 13.08.2010: The district had witnessed its history´s worst torrential rains and the subsequent floods, played havoc with almost all the areas of not only District Zhob but also District Sherani. More than 30 villages of District Zhob were badly affected, including Killi Sheikhan, Ibrahiman, Garda, Shahabzai, Ali Khanzai, Maryama, Mir Ali Khail, Sur Kachh, Malawar, Wiyala, Branj, Takarai, Khwazhikzai, Badinzai and Murgha Kibzai have been inundated with flash floods and torrential rains. More than 10 children were washed away by the flood. In addition, hundreds of houses collapsed and some were partially damaged in various areas of the district.
Several villages were cut off from the rest of the district as rains swept away Sur Toi and Takarai Bridge, hundreds of people were stranded in their villages, as their communications with other parts of the district was severed. Almost all the link roads and bridges in the district have been destroyed and the people lost communication with many other areas.
Zhob-Dera Isamail Khan road has been blocked for the last two weeks, due to landslide in Dhana Sar area (a mountainous area), due to which Zhob remained cut off from rest of the country. Long queues of standing vehicles, trucks were also seen on roadsides, as flood waters inundated main Road linking Zhob with Dera Ismail Khan.
Thousands of people of Airport and Islamyaar Muhallah were in danger as violent flash flood had damaged the protection spur, which was constructed several years ago in order to divert the violent flood water of Silyazai torrent from populated areas. The people of the area demanded of the government immediate construction of protection spur near Zhob airport. People of the area mostly depend upon livestock and agriculture, the flood water swept their cattle and agricultural land, causing losses in millions. But, the government had not announced financial assistance so far. Chief Minister had asked to visit the area, declare it flood-hit area and help the people in their hour of trial.
