The Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) issued a monsoon flood fact sheet, warning of heavy rains and possible flash floods across the province in the next 24 hours.

Rainfall was recorded in Murree, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, and Bahawalpur over the past day, while upper Punjab districts face risks of torrential rains and cloudbursts, PDMA officials said.

PDMA Director General Irfan Ali Kathia directed district administrations, particularly in vulnerable areas, to remain on high alert.

The Indus River is experiencing low-level flooding at Tarbela and Taunsa and medium-level flooding at Kalabagh and Chashma.

Sutlej River is at a low level of flood at Ganda Singh Wala, while the Chenab, Jhelum, and Ravi rivers remain at normal flow.

Tarbela Dam is 98% full and Mangla Dam 68%, while Indian dams have reached 70% capacity, the PDMA said.

Citizens have been advised to adopt safety precautions during the rainy season, avoid letting children play near rivers, streams, and low-lying areas, and stay vigilant.

No loss of life or property was reported in Punjab during the last 24 hours.
