has informed Pakistan about a high-level flood situation in the Sutlej River. The Indian High Commission sent an official notice to Pakistan regarding rising water levels. In response, Pakistan’s Ministry of Water Resources issued a flood alert to relevant authorities. The warning points to potentially dangerous water flow in key areas of the river.
The Indian notice highlighted a high flood level at Harike downstream and Ferozepur downstream on the Sutlej River. These areas are close to the India-Pakistan border, making the warning crucial for timely response. Authorities have begun monitoring the situation closely. Rescue and flood control teams are on alert.
The Indian High Commission also reported a high-level flood in the Tawi River. This river flows through Indian-occupied Jammu, and its water levels have risen significantly. Though the Tawi does not flow directly into Pakistan, its rise indicates widespread rainfall in the region. The alert raises concerns about possible spillover effects on nearby water bodies.
Meanwhile, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) in Punjab has issued its own weather warning. It forecasts rainfall across the province until September 5. Due to continuous rain, there is a growing risk of worsening flood conditions. Local authorities have been advised to stay alert and prepare for emergencies.
Overall, both countries are facing the impact of heavy monsoon activity. Cross-border water flow from India into Pakistan’s rivers remains a serious concern. With the flood alert now active, officials are urging people in vulnerable areas to take precautions immediately.
