Islamabad:
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) warned against possible floods in the bed areas of the Sindh river after strong floods in the three oriental rivers.
According to the NDMA, 900,000 to 950,000 water records will pass Panjnad’s head heads between September 3 and 4. The water flows could slightly descend between 825,000 and 900,000 brackets in case the embankments are raped to divert flood waters to avoid extreme damage.
The official declaration of the NDMA said that the GUDDU dam should see water flows ranging from 800,000 to 1.1 million CUSECs between September 5 and 6, the lowest range between 750,000 and 900,000 CUSECs if the embankments are raped.

At the Sukkur dam, water flows of 800,000 to 1.1 million CUSECs are expected between September 6 and 7, while the Kotri dam is likely to attend flows between 800,000 and a million bows from September 8 to 9.
According to the NDMA, total flow could reach up to 1.2 million Cuses, potentially creating an extremely high -level flood scenario for river bed communities and the Sindh’s low zones from September 12 to 13.
The authority also warned that flood waters could harm agricultural land, colonies, villages and nearby infrastructure. Consequently, the authorities were responsible for taking immediate preventive measures.
