The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a nationwide alert for heavy rains and potential flooding across the country until July 10.
NDMA flagged a massive risk of flooding in streams and rivers across Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
A low-level flood is expected at the Marala and Qadirabad points of the Chenab River. Rising water levels are anticipated in the Kabul, Indus, Chenab, Swat, Panjkora, Chitral, Hunza rivers, and other streams.
There is concern about potential flooding in northeastern Punjab, southern Balochistan, and Azad Kashmir. In particular, streams originating from the Pir Panjal mountain range in northeastern Punjab are at risk of flooding, NDMA said.
The NDMA further warned that the Jhelum River and its tributaries in Azad Kashmir may experience surges, while in Gilgit-Baltistan, water levels are likely to rise in the Hunza River and nearby streams.
Moreover, there is a risk of flooding in the rivers originating from the Kirthar Range in southern Balochistan and flooding in Awaran, Khuzdar, Jhal Magsi, Qila Saifullah and Musakhel.
