Overview

• PDMA said the 2025 monsoon has ended and river flows have largely normalised, with the Sutlej still carrying slightly elevated volumes.
• Another section of the Multan–Sukkur M‑5 near Jalalpur Pirwala collapsed, keeping the Multan–Jhangra stretch shut for an eighth day as authorities enforce diversion routes.
• Officials reported more than 4,700 villages affected and about 4.755 million people impacted, with roughly 2.62 million moved to safer areas and hundreds of relief and medical camps operating.
• Conflicting official fatality counts list 123 or 127 deaths, with new drownings reported in Alipur and Jalalpur Pirwala as localised hazards persist.
• Agricultural losses total about 2.58 million acres as reservoirs remain high, and Punjab plans formal loss surveys from Sept 24 to inform compensation announced by the chief minister.
