the
ancestral
houses
of
legendary
Indian
film
actors
Raj
Kapoor
and
Dilip
Kumar
located
in
Pakistan's
Peshawar
city.
The
houses,
already
in
dilapidated
condition,
were
taken
over
by
the
Pakistan
government,
which
had
declared
them
as
national
heritage
and
completed
all
the
formalities
to
convert
them
into
museums
in
their
honour.
The
rains
inundated
both
the
houses,
which
are
already
in
shambles,
and
damaged
some
parts,
local
people
said.
The
Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa
Archaeology
Department
is
yet
to
start
the
renovation
work
of
the
buildings,
situated
in
Qissa
Khwani
Bazar
area.
Torrential
monsoon
rains
have
triggered
floods
and
landslides
in
several
parts
of
Pakistan,
including
Islamabad.
According
to
media
reports,
over
20
people
died
in
rain-related
incidents
in
Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa
(KP)
province
from
mid-July.
Peshawar
is
the
capital
of
KP
province.

away
due
to
asthma-related
complications
in
1988
at
the
age
of
63,
while
98-year-old
