With Pakistan now privy to new releases of water from India and the forecast of heavy rainfall in the upper catchments of Punjab, the Provincial Disaster Management Authorities (PDMA) have once again sounded the flood alarm. The 10th wave of monsoon rain is going to engulf the Punjab skies till September 9 with water levels already on the rise, according to PDMA chief Irfan Ali Kathia.
Punjab Relief Commissioner Nabil Javed warned that by September 9, extremely high-level flooding is feared in the Ravi, Sutlej, and Chenab rivers due to heavy upstream rainfall, which could further swell the rivers.
According to numbers released by the Flood Forecasting Division, Trimmu and Panjand heads at the river Chenab are experiencing extremely high level flood with Panjnad seeing a water flow of 609,604 cusecs of water but there is a steady decrease in the water flow. Head Trimmu is experiencing water flow at 543,000 cusecs.
At Marala, River Chenab has a water flow of 84,000 cusecs and Khanki Headworks is at a low-level flood with a water flow of 147,000 cusecs. Similarly, Qadirabad on the Chenab is at 45,000 cusecs, seen as a low-level flood. In the River Sutlej, Ganda Singh Wala is at an extremely high flood level with water flow now at 319,000 cusecs and Suleimank is at a high flood level with water flow at 135,000 cusecs, according to PDMA Punjab.
The river Chenab has wreaked havoc in South Punjab, as the second flood wave enters Multan. About 543,000 cusecs of flood water from Head Trimmu will pass through Multan Head Muhammad Wala Road and the water level is expected to remain high for the next three days. However, despite the flood wave, residents of Qasim Bela, Langrial, and Sher Shah refuse to leave their homes.
Floodwater from the River Chenab has devastated Jalalpur Pirwala, with a red alert issued in the city. The Pakistan Army, Rescue 1122, and other agencies are continuing rescue operations in Jalalpur Pirwala with Rescue 1122 arranging additional boats. So far, 2,000 people have been successfully evacuated with approximately 400,000 people being affected by the floods in the River Chenab.
Head Jasser seems to be the only head on River Ravi that is showing a low-level flood with water outflow at 45,000 cusecs. But Shahdara and Sidhnai are both at a high-level flood with water flows of 90,000 cusecs and 123,000 cusecs, respectively.

Balloki Headworks however, is expected to be on an extremely high level flood risk with water flows reaching a dangerous 139,000 cusecs on the River Ravi.
"On the directions of the Punjab Chief Minister, all relevant departments are on high alert," stated DG PDMA. He further reassured that all resources are being utilised to protect the lives and property of citizens.
The new wave of torrential rainfall has also entered Sindh with high alerts in districts like Mirpur Khas, Shaheed Benazirabad and Larkana, expected to further worsen the upcoming flood threat flowing in from Punjab. Evacuations have started to take place in the province, especially along the riverine. With a whopping 800,000 cusecs of water expected to arrive at Guddu Barrage on September 9 (tomorrow), Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has assured that Sindh has prepared enough to manage the flood.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has released new figures, stating that a staggering 910 people have died this monsoon season, with the highest death rate in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa with 504 deaths.It was followed by Punjab 234, Sindh 58, Balochistan 26, Gilgit-Baltistan 41, Azad Jammu and Kashmir 38, and Islamabad nine fatalities.
The NDMA also reported 6,180 livestock deaths and damage to 7,848 houses.

标题:Multan city at risk as floodwaters enter its tehsil
时间:2025-9-8 14:22:00
正文:

• Low-lying areas submerged as water level in Chenab continues to rise
• Authorities order evacuations in downstream cities; seven die
• Met office forecasts torrential rain in Sindh, flash floods in Balochistan, landslides in hilly areas, besides urban flooding
• PM wants steps to ensure fuel supply in flood-affected areas
LAHORE: An extremely high flood threatened to engulf Jalalpur Pirwala, a tehsil of Multan district, as the water level in the Chenab River continued to rise on Sunday, prompting the authorities to evacuate residents from a city with a population of 500,000.
Multan City Police Officer (CPO) Sadiq Ali Dogar told Dawn that low-lying areas of the city had been inundated and could be completely submerged by Sunday night. He, however, assured that evacuations from most areas had been completed. The police official stated that the water was not moving towards Head Panjnad and could submerge the entire city, and the administration had called in helicopters to rescue people from hard-to-reach areas.
A senior official, on condition of anonymity, told Dawn that the government attempted to breach a bund to divert the water, but the villagers did not allow them to do so. He claimed that the government was planning to “save the city by diverting the water towards villages but did not succeed”. He said it was not possible to divert the flow since the water had already started entering the city. Residents of Jalalpur also confirmed this version.
In order to aid the administration in relief measures, the Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority provided three helicopters for aerial rescue — two from the army and one from Askari Civil Aviation. The PDMA director general said a coordinated rescue operation was underway, involving multiple agencies.
A rescue spokesperson said that 38 additional rescue boats were sent to the most-affected areas of Jalalpur Pirwala. “Another shipment of boats has been dispatched for Jalalpur Pirwala,” the spokesperson said.
Amid rising water levels, the authorities ordered evacuations in the downstream cities. According to the rescue spokesperson, an appeal has been made to the people of Muzaffargarh, Alipur and Jatoi to evacuate immediately.
Seven drown
Meanwhile, five people, including four children, drowned in Jalapur Pirwala after a boat capsized in the Chenab during the evacuation.
“The causes of the boat accident are being carefully examined. Initially, five deaths… have been confirmed,” Multan Deputy Commissioner (DC) Wasim Hamid Sindhu was quoted as saying in a statement. A statement from the PDMA also put the toll at five. “Rescue operations are being carried out to search for more people who were present on the boat,” Sindhu said.
The initial report from Rescue 1122 explained that while evacuating people from floodwaters in Jalalpur Pirwala, the boat had hit a tree and overturned due to the strong current. It added that mostly the women and children were on board and the water was 15 to 20 feet deep where it had capsized.
According to the rescue authorities, more than 9,000 people had been rescued in the Multan district, while over 350,000 people and more than 300,000 animals had been evacuated in advance.
In another incident, a man drowned while trying to cross the Chenab near Head Panjnad on Saturday evening. His body could not be recovered. A young man in Alipur tehsil drowned as he attempted to reach his submerged house in a catchment area near Head Panjnad.
River flow
As of 10:30pm on Sunday, the Marala Headworks on Chenab reported a steady flow of 89,604 cusecs, while both Khanki (steady) and Qadirabad Headworks (rising) reported flows of 147,294 and 147,039 cusecs.
At the Chiniot bridge, the flow was steady with 91,528 cusecs and Riwaz Bridge was holding steady with 521.60 ft (max value 525 ft). Trimmu Headworks (steady) reported a very high flow of 543,579 cusecs.
Jassar on River Ravi was steady with 48,360 cusecs and Ravi Syphon reported a steady flow of 91,463 cusecs. Sidhnai Headworks was rising with a very high flow of 120,239 cusecs. On the River Sutlej, G.S Wala reported an exceptionally high flow of 319,295 cusecs and Sulemanki Headworks reported 135,832 cusecs. Islam Headworks was steady with 110,028 cusecs, while Punjnad Headworks reported an extremely high flow of 609,664 cusecs. Mailsi had reported flows of 99,811 cusecs and steady.

Separately, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directed special vigilance to ensure the transportation of petroleum products to the flood-affected areas without any interruption.
