Alert Issued as Rising Chenab Flood Triggers Evacuations

The River Chenab has started to swell at Trimmu, prompting a mass evacuation of residents living along its banks. These residents are moving to safer locations with their belongings and livestock as floodwaters encroach on their homes.

Local rescue teams are on high alert as the floodwaters approach the city’s protective embankments. The rise in water levels follows recent heavy rains, which have led to widespread flooding.

Authorities anticipate that a significant flood will pass through Trimmu within the next 24 hours, intensifying the urgency of the situation.

In response to the impending threat, the district administration has issued warnings to residents in vulnerable areas along the river, advising them to prepare for evacuation. The local government has declared a flood alert, and all relevant officials have been directed to stay on the ground to manage the emergency and coordinate response efforts.

The deputy commissioner has reassured the public that comprehensive measures are in place to address the potential flood crisis. These measures include monitoring the situation closely, coordinating with rescue teams, and ensuring that resources are available to support the affected communities.

Emergency response teams are prepared to assist residents as the city braces for the anticipated floodwaters. The situation remains critical, with efforts focused on ensuring that those in need receive timely assistance and support. The local administration is working to mitigate the impact of the flood and safeguard the community from potential damage.

As the floodwaters continue to rise, residents and authorities alike are navigating the challenges posed by this natural disaster, with a concerted effort to manage the crisis and protect those at risk.
