A day after the historic deluge swamped Lahore, Pakistan Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) issued a flood alert in Punjab on Thursday.
According to the PDMA spokesperson, “a very high level of flood” is possible in Jhelum, Sutlej, Ravi and Chenab rivers from July 8 to 10.
Moreover, India is likely to release water in Ravi and Sutlej rivers, which may result in flooding.
The disaster management authority has also issued a high alert to all the provincial departments, including the deputy commissioners of Punjab and directed all departments to complete arrangements immediately.
On the other hand, Lahore continues to witness rainfall which has inundated the city’s low-lying areas.
