DERA ISMAIL KHAN: The people of Yarik, Kulachi and other areas of Dera Ismail Khan got a bit of a surprise at around 2 pm on Saturday when it started to rain hailstones.

Earlier this summer, an estimated 80% of houses were destroyed in the areas of Kulachi, Hathala and Kanori in the monsoon flooding. People have been repairing their homes since then.
