- The NDMA warns against the heavy rains in India which inflates rivers in Pakistan.
- The dam near the capacity; Aik, deg, bein, basantar, palkhu at risk.
- Chenab in Marala could strike 200,000 brackets; Sutlej in Kasur 220,000.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued an alert for potential floods in the delight after having increased the entries of the Madhopur head of India, one day after New Delhi warned Islamabad of rejection planned in the Sutlej and the Chenab which have already flooded parts of Pakistan.
New Delhi established a second contact with Pakistan on Monday in two days to warn Islamabad of a potential flood in the Sutlej river, after issuing a previous warning to the Tawi river in Jammu, said diplomatic sources PK Press Club News.
The Tawi is a river that crosses the Jammu region in Jammu-et-Cachemire of Indian origin and the district of Siackot, Pakistan. The Tawi is a major tributary of the left bank of the Chenab.
He marked the first major diplomatic contact in India with Pakistan since the May Military Stand-off, which followed New Delhi’s attempt to raise Pahalgam’s terrorist attack at IIOJK on Islamabad and his decision to suspend the Industry Water Treaty (IWT).
The NDMA, in its opinion, said that high precipitation was planned in the Indian states, including the Himhal Pradesh and the Uttarakhand, which could swell the rivers and the streams flowing towards Pakistan.
The National Emergency Operations Center of Authority monitors the situation 24 hours a day, according to the notification.
According to forecasts, the Ravi de Jastar river should experience high flood levels in the next 48 hours, with flows varying between 80,000 and 125,000 Cuses.
In the upper Chenab watershed, the water levels in the Jammu Tawi and Munawar Tawi streams should increase, while Marala’s discharge could climb between 150,000 and 200,000 cuses.
The situation at Sutlej is also disturbing. In Ganda Singh Wala in Kasur, the river flow could increase up to 220,000 brackets, officials said.
On Monday, the flood forecast division confirmed that the river was already in high flood at the point, recording a discharge of 182 188 CUSECs.
The NDMA also noted that the India dam (Ranjit Sagar) is about to reach its storage capacity, increasing the risk of new versions. Small rivers and draws – including AIK, DEG, BEIN, BASANTAR and PALKHU – should also transport higher flows.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered the NDMA to hold daily monsoon review meetings. The authority said that it supported provincial and local services to strengthen preparations and help efforts.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, reaffirmed that India was forced to fully comply with all the provisions of the Treaty.
He said that the unilateral declaration of India to keep the TWT unanswered constitutes a serious violation of international law and could have significant negative consequences for peace and stability in South Asia.
Following the last alert, the authorities issued warnings on the basis of the information provided by India, the sources confirmed.
New Delhi accuses Islamabad of orchestrating the deadly militant attack, an allegation that Pakistan denies.
Based on these baseless allegations, India waged a war against Pakistan in May, leading to the heaviest military engagement for decades, before a cease-fire was negotiated by the United States.
The Water Treaty had survived three wars and other conflicts between the two competitors, while resonating many twists and turns in diplomatic links.
Reuters reported on May 16 that Delhi envisaged projects that would probably reduce the flow of water to Pakistan of the rivers attributed to this country.
India also said that it “would keep the Treaty pending until Pakistan abjure in a credible and irrevocably support for cross -border terrorism”.
On the other hand, Islamabad says that “any attempt to stop or divert the flow of water belonging to Pakistan” will be an “act of war”.
