User notes: This video was taken on 28 and 29th July 2010 when the flood strike the Village Garhi Baloch, Peshawar (5 KM North from the downtown). Half of the residents of Garhi Baloch were badly affected by the Budni Nala (canal). This flood caused damage of billions of rupees. The video shows the walls of the houses fallen due to heavy rain on 28th July and then the flood on 29th July. The flood came to be a blessing for some self-seeking and cold-hearted people when they started catching the valuables of the damaged houses.
