The PDMA warns of flash, urban flooding as fourth monsoon spell continues across Punjab, with heavy rainfall expected in many districts over the coming days. Authorities have urged residents to remain alert as the latest monsoon system increases the risk of flooding in urban and low-lying areas.
According to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), the fourth spell of the monsoon is expected to bring widespread rain to several parts of the province. Cities including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sialkot, Faisalabad, and Multan may experience heavy downpours. Urban flooding is possible in these major cities if rainfall continues at a high intensity.
The weather advisory also warns of flash flooding in hilly and river catchment areas. Murree, Galiyat, and nearby mountainous regions face a higher risk of landslides due to continuous rainfall. Residents in these areas have been advised to avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather conditions.
The PDMA warns of flash, urban flooding as fourth monsoon spell continues and has directed district administrations to stay fully prepared. Commissioners and deputy commissioners have been instructed to activate emergency response plans. Relevant departments have also been told to remain on high alert throughout the weather system.
Officials said the health, irrigation, local government, communication, and livestock departments are ready to respond if emergency situations arise. Rescue teams and local authorities have been asked to monitor vulnerable locations and provide assistance where needed.
The authority also expects higher water levels in eastern rivers and nearby hill torrents because of heavy rainfall in upper catchment areas. People living close to rivers and streams have been advised to monitor official updates and move to safer places if conditions worsen.
The PDMA urged the public to avoid standing near electric poles, exposed wires, and accumulated rainwater. Parents have also been advised to keep children away from flooded streets and drainage channels. People living in weak or damaged buildings should take extra precautions during the ongoing rain spell.
The latest warning comes as Pakistan continues to experience an active monsoon season. Recent weeks have brought heavy rainfall, causing flooding, transport disruptions, and damage in several parts of the country. Disaster management authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have stressed the importance of following official safety instructions.
