In Ghotki, flood waters have entered the gas field of the Petroleum Development and Gaz Limited (OGDCL) in Qadirpur, forcing the suspension of drilling at 10 wells. The company officials said that the operations will resume once the water has fallen. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis has deepened Punjab and Sindh. Heavy monsoon rains coupled with booming river flows have devastated infrastructure, including a section of the Multan-Sukkur M-5 motorway near Jalalpur Pirwala. The washed part forced a complete closure, while emergency repairs on a bridge were interrupted due to dangerously strong currents. The collapse has broken a vital transport route, complicating the delivery of emergency supplies. In UCH Sharif, a 100 -foot wide breach in a torreau unleashed torrents in residential areas and agricultural land, flooding the sanctuary of Mian Mouluk Shah Bukhari before spreading in the surrounding villages.

Punjab has brought the weight of destruction. The rivers overflowing with Sutlej and Chenab submerged dozens of villages. In Chishtian, 47 villages have passed underwater, drowning 48,000 acres of agricultural land and destroying the crops of sugar cane, rice, corn and sesame. Minchinabad saw 67 submerged villages along a 76 -kilometer belt, affecting more than 56,000 people. In Alipur, dozens of villages remain brown, with houses, schools and damaged roads beyond repair. Residents complain of shortages and operations by private boats operators, some billing up to 40,000 rupees to transport families and livestock safe. In Uch Sharif, 36 villages were overwhelmed, thousands of lost agricultural land acres and families have remained blocked. Sindh faces a parallel disaster. In Ghotki, cotton and sugar cane crops were destroyed and the villagers forced to abandon houses, leading livestock to higher land in a last attempt to save livelihoods. Health officials warned of an imminent health crisis, issuing dengue alerts for Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Peshawar, because stagnant water has provided a reproductive ground for mosquitoes. Hospitals were ordered to remain on alert and fumigation campaigns have been announced. Rescue and rescue efforts continue but remain stretched. The NDMA reports that more than 2.95 million people have been saved nationally since June, with more than 151,000 in rescue camps. More than 473,000 patients have received treatment in medical camps, but many communities remain cut, with transport aircraft and boats the only means of access. The chief minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, visited Alipur on Monday, supervising rescue operations and personally distributing aid. In a rescue camp, she served meals, distributed compensation checks and ensured long -term rehabilitation. Officials informed him that nearly 394,000 people in the Muzaffargarh district had been affected alone. The survivors demanded urgent action to repair the embankments and restore food and shelter. Maryam praised the role of the navy in rescue operations and announced the creation of a Punjab force dedicated to improving the floodable response. In addition, Punjab Education Foundation approved 5 billion rupees to rehabilitate schools damaged by floods. At the national level, the Tarbela dam is at full capacity and the mangla dam at 95%. The Federal Flood Commission has reported significant damage since the end of June: 674 kilometers of roads, 239 bridges, 8,481 houses and more than 6,500 cattle lost. Adding to the crisis, the Pakistan meteorological department plans a new period of heavy monsoon rains from Tuesday (today) and September 19, with Rawalpindi, Lahore and Gujranwala among the at risk areas. Officials warn that new rains may trigger new floods in already devastated regions. For the moment, the residents of Punjab and Sindh, already beaten by weeks of flooding, remain on board – trying to save what they can when they are preparing for another wave.
