The water level of the Indus river at Guddu Barrage continues to rise, causing a low-level flood that has now lasted for the fourth consecutive day. According to officials at the control room, the situation remains under close watch.
Currently, the inflow of water at Guddu Barrage is recorded at 355,283 cubic feet per second (cusecs), while the outflow stands at 315,358 cusecs. Over the last 24 hours, the water volume has increased by 12,283 cusecs, putting further pressure on flood control measures.
Heavy rainfall in the mountainous areas of Koh-e-Suleiman has caused local streams and nullahs to overflow. This additional water has contributed to the rising levels in the Indus river downstream.
Meteorological authorities predict that the water level of the Indus river will continue to rise during the next 24 hours due to ongoing rains and meltwater flows. Local officials and emergency services are on high alert to respond quickly if the flood situation worsens.
Residents living near the riverbanks have been advised to stay vigilant and prepare for possible evacuations if necessary. Authorities are coordinating flood control efforts and updating the public through official channels.
The rising Indus river during the monsoon season highlights the constant challenge of managing floods in Pakistan. Authorities emphasize the importance of timely warnings and community preparedness to reduce risks to life and property.
As the floodwaters persist, officials continue monitoring the Guddu Barrage closely, aiming to minimize damage and keep affected communities safe.
