A low-level Indus River flood continues to affect the Guddu Barrage area, as water levels keep rising due to persistent rainfall in upstream regions. Officials confirmed that the situation has remained unchanged for the fourth straight day.
According to the Guddu Barrage control room, the current water inflow is 355,283 cusecs, while the outflow is at 315,358 cusecs. Over the past 24 hours, the Indus River’s level rose by 12,283 cusecs.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department reported heavy rain in the Koh-e-Suleiman mountain range. These rains have caused flash flooding in streams and nullahs, contributing to the steady rise in water levels.
Officials have warned that the Indus River flood situation may worsen within the next 24 hours if upstream inflows continue to increase. The rising water could affect nearby low-lying areas, though no major damage has been reported yet.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have advised residents living near the riverbanks to remain alert. Emergency teams are also on standby in case of any sudden developments.
The Indus River flood risk at Guddu Barrage is part of a broader monsoon pattern affecting several regions across Pakistan. More rainfall is expected in the coming days, which could further impact river flow and flood levels.
