Kathia told the reporters during a briefing on Friday that all of the major storm systems had passed and that no heavy rains were anticipated until the following week. From Jassar to Sindhnai and from Marala to Panjnad, he noted, there was no risk of significant floods.
Kathia observed that although the Sutlej River’s flow was still marginally higher than that of other rivers, it had been steadily declining during the previous 48 hours.
