Flow Of Ravi River

The water flow in the Ravi River is (45,000) cusecs in Jassar and (90,000) cusecs at Shahdara. According to reports, the flow is (139,000) cusecs at Head Balloki and (123,000) cusecs at Head Sidhnai. Balloki and Sidhnai are currently dealing with an exceptionally high flood level, while Shahdara is also facing a significant flood condition.

There is a very significant risk of flooding in the Sutlej River since the water flow at Ganda Singh Wala has reached (319,000) cusecs. The flow stream (135,000) cusecs at Head Sulemanki and (120,000) cusecs at Head Islam.

Alert In Panjnad

According to the Flood Forecasting Division, the situation is still at its most severe at Head Panjnad, where the water flow has increased to 564,000 cusecs. As Punjab’s rivers continue to overflow with high flood levels, officials gave warnings for dangerous locations, asking those who live close to riverbanks to exercise care and heed safety instructions.

India has already released more water into the Sutlej River, which sparked fears of another significant flood surge in Pakistan. By dumping water into Pakistani rivers, India has been consistently breaking the terms of the Indus Waters Treaty.

Authorities are concerned about a fresh flood in the river as a result of what has been called India’s “water aggressive conduct.” Downstream of the Harike and Ferozepur barrages, an all-time high flood alert has been issued. The flood threat has reportedly been formally communicated to Islamabad by the Indian High Commissioner.
