ISLAMABAD (Baaghi TV) — August 18, 2026: Heavy rainfall in Islamabad has reportedly caused water to leak through the roofs at several locations inside Parliament House, with parts of the building affected by water accumulation.
The reported leakage occurred as Islamabad and Rawalpindi experienced heavy rain for the second consecutive day, with the downpour also affecting several low-lying areas of the twin cities.
According to reports, the chamber of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was among the areas affected by water dripping from the roof.

Water accumulates inside Building
Water reportedly accumulated in the PSO room, where a dustbin was placed to collect the dripping water.
Similar arrangements were made in the lobby outside the Senate Hall, where dustbins were reportedly positioned beneath areas affected by water leakage.
Videos showing water dripping from ceilings inside Parliament House have also circulated on social media. A report published on August 18 showed footage and images of the affected areas, including the lobby outside the Senate Hall.
The incidents have drawn attention to the condition and maintenance of the building, although no official statement confirming the cause of the leaks or assigning responsibility was immediately available.

The continuing downpour has placed pressure on drainage infrastructure in parts of the twin cities. The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) Rawalpindi has reportedly activated a rain emergency and deployed heavy machinery at locations considered vulnerable to flooding.
The rainfall has also affected roads and other public infrastructure in the capital region.
Parliament House Maintenance under Focus
The reported water leakage has raised questions about the building’s maintenance arrangements, particularly because Parliament House is a major government facility that accommodates the National Assembly and Senate.
Official National Assembly records confirm that Parliament House remains in active use for parliamentary committee meetings, with several meetings scheduled at the complex during August.

The National Assembly’s own documentation describes Parliament House as a large four-storey complex containing hundreds of rooms and multiple committee rooms.
While the latest reports have highlighted roof leakage during the current spell of rain, the available official material does not establish whether the incidents resulted from structural defects, inadequate maintenance, drainage problems or the intensity of rainfall.
No independent assessment of the reported damage had been publicly released at the time of reporting.
The reported leaks have nevertheless renewed attention on the need for timely inspection and maintenance of public buildings, particularly during the monsoon season.
