The Flood Forecasting Division Lahore (FFD) has issued a flood alert as heavy rains with gusty winds are forecasted in Punjab on Sunday.
According to a statement issued by FFD on Saturday, “Very high flood level is expected from September 23 in River Chenab at Marala and downstream, River Jhelum at Mangla, Rivers Ravi, and Sutlej along with associated nullahs of Rivers Chenab and Ravi.”
However, the scale of the water level in Rivers Ravi and Sutlej in Pakistan depends on releases from India, the department further added. “Flood situation in Pakistan in Rivers Sutlej and Ravi will depend upon the outflows from Indian reservoirs,” the statement further read.
“High to very high flood situation is expected in River Chenab along with associated nullahs of Rivers Chenab and Ravi. Flows are also likely to increase in River Jhelum,” the FFD added.
Yesterday, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) forecasted a heavy to very heavy rainfall in Lahore, Sialkot, Hafizabad, and Narowal for the next two days.
The PDMA notification stated, “A strong weather system from Central India will pass between New Delhi and Lahore during Saturday evening to Monday afternoon which can cause heavy to very heavy rainfall.”
