Through its National Emergencies Operation Centre, the NDMA has warned of possible low to moderate flooding in vulnerable areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Balochistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

The Indus River has already reached low flood levels at Kalabagh, Chashma, Taunsa and Guddu. Meanwhile, the Ravi, Chenab, Jhelum, Kabul and Sutlej remain within normal ranges, although officials expect water flows in several major rivers to increase around Aug. 8 and 9.

The NDMA has specifically identified Sukkur on the Indus, Marala on the Chenab and Balloki on the Ravi as locations where low-level flooding could develop. Authorities are also monitoring the Jhelum downstream of Mangla Dam and the Kabul River near Adezai.

Multiple Regions Face Flood Risks

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Chitral, Upper Dir, Abbottabad, Shangla, Khyber, Orakzai, Kohat, Tank and North and South Waziristan are among the areas facing potential low to moderate flooding.

In AJK, Bagh and Kotli remain vulnerable, while parts of Balochistan, including Zhob, Musakhel, Kohlu, Barkhan and Dera Bugti, are also under observation.

Punjab faces additional risks from hill torrents, particularly in Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur. The NDMA has also warned of possible urban flooding in Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Narowal, Faisalabad, Okara and Lahore.

Reservoir Levels Remain High

Water storage at major reservoirs is another factor being closely watched. Tarbela Dam’s water level has reached 1,548 feet, with storage at 97.94%, compared with 95.98% during the same period last year.

Mangla Dam stands at 1,205.2 feet, while its storage is recorded at 62.99%, slightly higher than the 62.80% recorded during the corresponding period last year.

Authorities have urged residents, tourists and travelers in mountainous and flood-prone areas to remain alert because intense monsoon rainfall can trigger flash floods, landslides and debris flows with little warning.
