India has released more water into the Sutlej River, raising fears of another major flood. The country continues its water aggression and violation of the Indus Waters Treaty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Ministry of Water Resources, the Indian High Commission has warned of high-level flooding at two locations along the Sutlej. An extremely high flood is expected at Harike and Ferozepur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency alerts have been issued to all relevant departments by the Ministry of Water Resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, raging waves have caused destruction in Jalalpur Pirwala. A breach in the embankment has submerged several villages. Evacuation to safer locations is under way. The Chief Minister of Punjab monitored the overnight evacuation operations. Additional boats have been deployed, and three helicopters are involved in the rescue efforts. The opening of the Vehari Bridge has helped avert flooding in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The confluence of the Sutlej, Ravi and Chenab rivers has created a severe situation. An extremely high flood is occurring at Head Panjnad. In Muzaffargarh’s tehsil Alipur, several villages have been inundated by the aggressive floodwaters. Thousands of acres of crops have been damaged in Khairpur Tamewali, Rahim Yar Khan and Liaquatpur. Within hours, a large flood wave is expected to pass through Rajanpur near Kot Mithan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
