According to the report published on Wednesday, a total of 568 disaster-related incidents have occurred across the country during the two-month period. These incidents resulted in the deaths of 43 people, while 18 have gone missing and 116 sustained injuries. Additionally, 2,112 families have been directly affected by monsoon-triggered disasters.
