The Indian High Commission notified Pakistan of the rising water levels in the Sutlej River, prompting the Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) to issue a high-level flood alert.
Authorities caution that there is a significant chance of significant flooding in the days ahead due to the river’s predicted continued increase in volume.
India discusses the flood problem.
The Indian High Commission provided information about flooding at two locations in the Sutlej River, Harike downstream and Ferozepur downstream, according to the Ministry of Water Resources. High-level flooding is currently occurring in both areas, which has prompted Pakistani authorities to issue an urgent notice.
