During the next 24 hours (Thursday–Friday), the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted rain, windstorms, thunderstorms, and a few torrential downpours or hailstorms throughout the majority of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Kashmir, Islamabad, Punjab, and Balochistan.

In several areas of Sindh, a rain-windstorm/thunderstorm is anticipated. Much of Balochistan is being hit by a powerful westerly wave trough, which is expected to spread to the top regions by April 18.

Prolonged downpours have the potential to cause flash flooding in Balochistani local streams and drains, particularly in Gwadar, Jiwani, Pasni, Ormara, Kech, Awaran, Kharan, Panjgur, Washuk, Noshki, Lasbela, Khuzdar, and Kalat.

On April 18–20, heavy rains could cause flash floods in tributaries of the Kabul River as well as in Dir, Swat, Chitral, Kohistan, Manshera, Gilgit–Baltistan, Kashmir, and other areas.

Lower Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Murree, Galiyat, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan are among the regions where landslides may occur.

At this time, standing crops, power poles, cars, solar panels, and other objects may sustain damage from wind, hail, and lightning, according to meteorologists.

Upper Sindh and Balochistan saw rain, wind, and thunderstorms in the past 24 hours. During the era, there were also significant rainfalls in South Balochistan. Wednesday’s highs of 42 degrees Celsius in Mithi kept it as the country’s hottest spot.

Officials reported that lightning-related storm-related occurrences claimed the lives of at least 65 people in Pakistan, where the rate of precipitation in April has so far been roughly twice that of previous years. Floods and house collapses were caused by heavy downpours that occurred between Friday and Monday. Lightning claimed 28 lives.

32 people, including 15 children, have killed and over 1,300 homes have been damaged in northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which has suffered the greatest victim count.

The meteorological experts report that there is little probability of rain, despite the fact that drizzle fell in numerous areas of Karachi.

In Karachi, the FBR discovers a Rs86 million tax evasion scheme.

As per the statement provided by the FBR representative, the tax fraud that involved under-invoicing in a well-known cement firm was discovered by the FBR’s Intelligence and Investigation Wing.

Following an examination, it was discovered that the cement firm had attempted to use fictitious invoices to avoid paying sales tax of Rs86 million. The FBR’s I & I wing broadened its investigation following the swindle and was able to recover the amount of sales tax that had been avoided.

An extensive tax evasion scheme in the port city was discovered earlier this year by the Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) Post Clearance Audit team (PCA-North).
The inquiry showed that the products, valued at Rs 3.7 billion, were sold illegally for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas (PATA), ostensibly to avoid paying taxes.

Importantly, customs laws were broken by unlawfully distributing duty-free imported commodities outside of FATA and PATA’s defined borders.

Customs officers said that only the borders of the FATA and PATA regions may be used to sell duty-free imported goods.

Right away, a case was opened, and teams were assembled with the specific goal of capturing the owner of the company that was involved.
