Overview

• Flood Forecasting Division data shows an 8,000 cusec decline at Kotri in recent hours, though the barrage remains in a medium flood condition.
• Riverine villages in Thatta and Sujawal have been inundated, damaging hundreds of acres of rice, cotton, banana and papaya as authorities relocate residents to safer sites and tent camps.
• Repair crews are addressing critical damage, including work on the Nurajah Bhutta protective bund breach, restoration of a affected gas pipeline and an M‑5 motorway closure from Multan to Jhangra Interchange now into a 14th day.
• Relief efforts are scaling up, with Al‑Khidmat providing meals and one‑month rations to 2,000 people and the Pakistan Central Muslim League reporting distribution of 130,000 dry rations and new consignments en route.
• Managers note Mangla Dam is near capacity, and standing water continues to trouble Chenab–Sutlej areas such as Jalalpur Pirwala.
