PDMA says water levels across most rivers in Punjab have returned to normal, while low-level flooding continues at Kalabagh on the Indus River and Khanki on the Chenab River.
LAHORE: Water flow has returned to normal across most major rivers in Punjab, providing relief after recent flood concerns, although low-level flooding continues at two locations, according to the latest update issued by the Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).
The PDMA said low-level flood conditions remain at Kalabagh on the Indus River and Khanki on the Chenab River, while water levels at other monitoring points across the province are within normal limits.
According to the authority, the Indus River at Kalabagh recorded an inflow of 269,000 cusecs and an outflow of 262,000 cusecs. At Khanki on the Chenab River, the inflow was measured at 113,000 cusecs, while the outflow stood at 106,000 cusecs.
The PDMA reported that water flow remains normal at Marala, Qadirabad, Trimmu and Panjnad on the Chenab River. Similarly, normal conditions have been recorded at Jassar, Shahdara, Sidhnai and Balloki on the Ravi River, as well as Ganda Singh Wala, Sulemanki and Head Islam on the Sutlej River.
Officials also confirmed that water levels at Tarbela, Chashma and Taunsa on the Indus River are stable. In addition, no unusual situation has been reported in the hill torrent (Rod Kohi) areas of Dera Ghazi Khan, where water flow continues within normal limits.
The latest assessment indicates that flood risks have eased across much of Punjab. However, authorities continue to closely monitor river conditions and have advised district administrations to remain vigilant, particularly in areas where low-level flooding persists.
