Recent floods led to large-scale rescue and evacuation efforts in Punjab. The Pakistan Army initiated relief activities in flood-affected areas like Ganda Singhwala, Dhap Sri, and more.
Army rescue teams used boats for transfer and distributed 16 tons of free ration to affected families. Ration packs with food items such as flour, lentils, rice, and milk are still being distributed at various locations.
Medical assistance was provided to flood victims. The relief operations will persist until the flood situation improves and normalcy returns.
Rescue and evacuation operations continued on Sunday in parts of Punjab as the Sutlej River experienced high to very high flood levels at two locations.
At the Ganda Singh Wala Barrage, Sutlej reached “extremely high levels” on Saturday, leading to the evacuation of hundreds of families from 72 villages in Kasur and Chunian. Tragically, three individuals drowned in floodwaters in Kasur while attempting to seek higher ground.
According to the 6 p.m. update by the Flood Forecasting Division (FFD), the flood level at Ganda Singh Wala had decreased to a high-level today. The Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) confirmed its forecast from the previous day by reporting a high-level flood at the Sulemanki Headworks.
