A major flood wave is expected to reach Guddu Barrage today (Sunday), raising concerns of flooding in the riverine (katcha) areas of Sindh.

In Sehwan, announcements are being made urging residents of the river belt to evacuate the area.

Sindh Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla stated that all necessary arrangements have been made to deal with the flood wave.

Sindh Assembly Speaker Syed Owais Qadir Shah, during his visit to the Sukkur Barrage, said that the situation would become clearer once the flood wave reaches Panjnad and Guddu Barrages.

Meanwhile, irrigation officials have said that work is underway at vulnerable points of the protective embankments, and there is no threat to the Sukkur Barrage from the flood.

In Multan, water pressure remained high on the Shershah Flood Embankment, while in Jhang, a high-level flood persisted at the Head Trimmu.

Floodwaters from Punjab entered Sindh on Saturday, pushing up the water levels of the Indus River and triggering fears of possible flooding across the province.

Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said the provincial government is fully alert.

To mitigate risk, 121,769 people have so far been shifted from katcha (riverine) areas to safer locations, with 5,848 receiving medical treatment in the past 24 hours alone. In total, 360,777 people have been relocated due to flood threats.

Rescue teams, health camps, relief goods, and 22 boats have been deployed across affected districts.
