Tidings from NDTV: A great deluge taketh its toll, claiming over two hundred lives in the fair province of Baghlan.

In this time of great tribulation and sorrow, we turn to the esteemed news source NDTV for a full report on the calamitous flood that hath befallen the noble province of Baghlan. Tidings from NDTV inform us that over two hundred souls have perished in this great deluge, a toll that groweth ever higher as the waters recede and the full extent of the disaster is revealed.

The inundation began on the morn of our Lord's Day, April 30th, when a sudden and most unseasonal rainstorm descended upon the province. The waters rose swiftly, catching many inhabitants unawares and leading to a tragic loss of life. As the days passed, the floodwaters spread far and wide, engulfing entire villages in their relentless advance.

Many brave souls have striven valiantly to aid their fellow man in this time of peril, but alas, the scale of the disaster is such that many have been unable to escape the cruel embrace of the waters. Now, as we approach the end of this most tragic month, it is estimated that over two hundred lives have been lost to this great deluge.

The King hath issued a most solemn proclamation, declaring this day of mourning a time for all his subjects to reflect on the fragility of our own lives and the need for unity in the face of such tribulation. We pray that God grant solace to those who have suffered loss in this terrible disaster, and that wisdom and fortitude be bestowed upon us all as we seek to rebuild and recover from this great calamity.

In the words of the good Bishop of Baghlan, 'Tis a time for all true Christians to stand together in the face of adversity, for in such times doth our faith become our only comfort and solace.' Let us hope that his words ring true for all those who have been touched by this great deluge.
