"At least 25 villagers were killed, over 40 others wounded and tens of houses and wide areas of arable lands have been washed out during the overnight floods," she said.
Officials of local government and provincial directorate of disaster management and humanitarian affairs would soon visit the villages to provide assistance to the affected people, she added.
