Overview

  • Provincial monitoring reports declining Indus levels across Sindh, with officials saying the immediate risk of a super flood has eased.
  • Latest readings show Kotri at medium flood with 364,041 cusecs inflow and 339,486 cusecs outflow, while Guddu (260,309/231,545 cusecs) and Sukkur (261,554/206,434 cusecs) remain at low flood.
  • PMD data notes Tarbela at full storage and Mangla near 97% capacity, a constraint that can keep downstream pressure elevated through late September.
  • NDMA says it has dispatched 36,000 tents and 2,270 tonnes of relief goods across Punjab, with additional consignments sent to Khanewal and ongoing coordination with provincial and military teams.
  • Local reports describe concentrated damage from a Loop Bund breach that inundated Bakhri and nearby villages, and a 20–25 km inland lake on the Sutlej that submerged and damaged sections of the M5 corridor.
