SUKKUR: The Indus River is expected to reach dangerously high flood levels on Tuesday, according to the latest alert.

At Guddu Barrage, floodwaters from Punjab continue to flow into Sindh, putting the katcha areas of Kashmore at risk.

In Kot Mithan, rising water levels have forced large numbers of residents from riverine settlements to relocate to safer places. The administration has once again urged locals to vacate their homes.

Meanwhile, heavy rains in the Kirthar range have caused streams and seasonal rivers to swell. Sindh Irrigation Minister Jam Khan Shoro said no embankments will be breached, adding that the government has made preparations for a potential “super flood.” He warned that between 150,000 and 200,000 people could be affected.

The Provincial Rain and Flood Emergency Monitoring Cell has released the latest data on water inflows and outflows at rivers and barrages.
