Islamabad, Lightning, thunderstorms and heavy rains have killed 29 people in Pakistan amid predictions of more rough weather in the South Asian country, dpa reported.

At least 17 people were killed in the central province of Punjab when lightning struck different places, rescue official Farooq Ahmad said.

Other eight people lost their lives to heavy rains and thunderstorms in the south-western region of Balochistan, the local disaster management agency said.

Falling roofs and crumbling walls after two days of downpour caused four deaths in the rugged mountains of the northwest, according to local rescue official Bilal Faizi.
