Rivers updates
The provincial disaster management authority (PDMA) indicated that flooding conditions persist in the rivers of Punjab due to high precipitation in the higher watersheds.
“In Ganda Singh Wala, the Sutlej river is very high with an influx of 261,000 brackets,” said PDMA director, Irfan Ali Kathia. The Sutlej was also in a strong flood in Sulemanki with 137,000 Cuses.
The flows in the Chenab river were recorded at 69,000 CUSECS in Marala, 108,000 brackets in Khanki Headworks, 120,000 brackets in Qadirabad, 416,000 bowls in Trimmu Headworks and 452,000 Cusecs in Panjnad, where the river was in very high flood.
In Multan, the authorities warned that water levels in the Chenab river could increase more at any time, urging residents to move to safer places.
The discharge of 543,000 Cusecases of the Trimmu head entered the district, pushing the water levels above the gauge of the irrigation service of 413.40 feet with the Muhammad wala head.
To reduce the pressure, those responsible said that Shershah’s embankment would be violated with explosives, potentially affecting more than 20 villages.
The MNA Abdul Qadir Gillani and Ali Qasim Gillani called on residents to leave their homes. Night evacuations were carried out near Shershah.
The Ravi river has recorded 28,000 CUSCECS in Jassar, 59,000 CUSECS in Shahdara (average flood), 104,000 Balloki Headworks (very high flooding) and 135,000 CUSCS in Sidhnai Headworks (high flood).
The PDMA has also warned that the Sutlej river flow should also increase. The authority said that Indian High Commission has shared flood data with Pakistan, reporting high-level floods downstream from Harike and Ferozepur in India.
The DG PDMA said that the Civil Administration, the Pakistani army and other services remained on alert, stressing: “The protection of the life and property of citizens must be assured.”
The DG PDMA said that all departments were under alert under the directives of the Chief Minister of Punjab. “All the available resources are used to protect the life and property of citizens,” he said.
REAR RAIRS
Railway managers said that Shershah’s violation could disrupt the Multan – Rawalpindi track, suspended three services: the Mehr Express, Thal Express and a shuttle for Dera Ghazi Khan.
The Mehr Express and Thal Express operate via the Shershah Chenab bridge, Muzaffargarh, Kundian and Mianwali to Rawalpindi, while the Dera Ghazi Khan shuttle passes through Shershah, Muzaffargarh, Kot Addu and Taunsa Barrage.
If the waters reach the crossing of Shershah, the main line of Multan – Karachi can also be assigned. However, operations on the Multan – Karachi road will continue if the main line remains safe.
Monday morning, Thal Express left at 6:30 am for Rawalpindi via the Shershah Chenab bridge, while the Dera Ghazi Khan shuttle left at 5:30 am. If the violation occurs before 4:15 p.m., the railways said that the Mehr Express service in Rawalpindi would be suspended.
City updates
The Chenab remained in a strong flood in Muzaffargarh, where the authorities also prepared to break near Shershah. Traffic police closed the Multan – Muzaffargarh road and the road to the head of Muhammad Wala, reducing road connectivity between Muzaffargarh and Multan.
Passengers were invited to redirect via the Panjnad and Bahawalpur head. The police said that reading the gauge in Shershah Bridge was 394 feet against a high brand of 395 feet.
As a vehicle, the water levels in the Sutlej fell slightly but remained at the average flood at the head of Islam, with inputs and outputs at 118,000 CUSCS. Flows downstream in Mian Hakim and Mero Baloch exceeded 140,000 brackets.
More than 185 villages have been affected and cultures on 61,000 acres, including sesame, cotton, rice and sugar cane – have been destroyed. At least 80,000 people have been evacuated, while 58,000 cattle have been moved to safer areas. The sub-commissioner and the DPO visited areas affected overnight to examine the situation.
Bahawalpur
In the Bahawalpur region, the Jhangeewala region, flood waters crossed an embankment in the village of Panoohar during the night, submerging houses and cultures. Residents said they had been forced to evacuate without help, while the cattle were left without fodder. A large -scale movement is underway.
In Uch Sharif, dozens of villages have been overwhelmed while the houses collapsed and the colonies have passed underwater. The affected areas included Bet Ahmed, Bukhtiyari, Kachi Lal and Rasoolpur.
Residents have reported serious difficulties in evacuating, many families still trapped in houses. “Our houses collapsed and we are surrounded by water. Please save us,” argued the locals. Families said they could not evacuate with children due to high flood waters, while food shortages have aggravated the crisis.
Clean water
More than 100,000 19 -liter bottles have each been delivered in districts affected by the floods while the supply of drinking water develops, said the housing service, adding that the effort is made by Punjab Saaf Panority.
Until now, 727,000 liters of water have been distributed in the areas affected by floods, benefiting from 242,333 people. Only Sunday, 187,500 liters were provided. The authority also distributes ultrafiltration hand pumps to affected communities.

The Minister examines the agreements
The provincial Minister for Communications and Works Malik Sohaib Ahmed Bharth presided over a meeting to examine the flooding provisions, in particular rescue camps, alternative routes, the installation of panels and the availability of machines.
He said that the protective embankments in Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan were intact, while the head of the Sulemanki head and the Board of Noor Pure remained safe. The teams work 24 hours a day in the field and heavy machines were deployed in Dera Ghazi Khan.
