The Indian government has alerted Pakistan once again about the flood in Sutlej River as the country has released more water.
India communicated this information to Pakistan via its high commission.
Water levels in the Sutlej, Ravi, and Chenab rivers are being closely monitored. Flows at Trimmu reached 543,000 cusecs and are expected to rise further, while Panjnad recorded 517,000 cusecs. Flood conditions are likely to persist in Multan, Khanewal, Jhang, and Toba Tek Singh over the next 72 hours.
Flood in Sindh
Sindh CM Murad Ali Shah said many residents had already relocated voluntarily, though displacement remained difficult. He said relief camps have been geo-tagged, warehouses in Sukkur stocked with aid supplies, and livestock vaccination facilities arranged.
CM Murad also warned of more rainfall in several districts, including Karachi, where showers are expected until Monday evening.
Multan DC Wasim Hamid Sindhu has said the district administration had prepared a plan of action to deal with the incoming deluge from Head Trimmu.
According to a statement from his office, water levels at Head Muhammadwala and Shershah Flood Bund on the Chenab river were declining, “reducing pressure on the protective dykes”.
In another news, PM Shehbaz Sharif has said that the government was devising an effective strategy in cooperation with the provinces against the adverse effects of climate change.
