Jul 28, 2023..

Lahore: Low to medium-level flooding in the Ravi, Sutlej, and Indus rivers has left hundreds of villages in various areas of Pakistan submerged under water, media reports said on Friday.


In Chiniot and other districts, several dozen people have been displaced, and several small dams along the banks of River Sutlej in Arifwala have been washed away. Evacuations have also begun in the katcha areas of South Punjab as the water level rises in Chenab and Indus rivers in Muzaffargarh, Dera Ghazi Khan, and Rahim Yar Khan, reports Dawn News.

The Provincial Disaster Management Authority has reported low to medium-level flooding at Tarbela, Kalabagh, Taunsa, and Chashma in the Indus River, low at GS Wala, and medium at Sulemanki in the Sutlej River.

The Ravi and Chenab rivers are flowing normally at present.

Punjab caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited Samal village in district Chiniot, where around 50 villages were affected by the floods, resulting in the destruction of houses and property, reports Dawn News.

The chief minister ordered the construction of an embankment in the area and warned that the flood level might increase in the coming days, urging people to take precautionary measures.

He oversaw rescue operations and assessed the damage to houses.

He directed the administration to provide fodder for the animals of flood-affected people and reported that 90 percent of the evacuations in flood-affected areas were completed.
