Lahore/Islamabad:
The Provincial Disaster Authority (PDMA) PUNJAB on Thursday said that river flows in the province are returning to normal, with only low -to -medium level floods in some places.
According to PDMA spokesman, water levels have decreased significantly in the areas affected by floods, while the Indo, Jhelum, Ravi and Chenab rivers now flow to normal levels. The flows in the Punjnad heads have also been normalized.
However, moderate floods persist on the Sutlej River in Ganda Singh Wala, while low -level floods have been recorded in Sulemanki and Islam Headworks. The PDMA confirmed that the torrents of the hill in Dera Ghazi Khan also flow to normal levels.
The PDMA DG said the provincial administration remains on alert under the directives of the principal minister, with help operations that continue in the affected areas. Citizens have been advised to communicate with the 1129 emergency aid line in case of crisis.
Meanwhile, the National Emergency Operation Center (NEOC) warned about the potential increase in rivers flows during the next two days due to rain forecast. Electric storms with scattered rains are expected in the divisions of Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Gujrat, Gujranwala and Lahore, while the Peshawar, Kohat, Bannu, Sargodha, Faisalabad and Zhob divisions can also receive intermediate doubts.
Heavy tickets have been informed in the barriers of Sindh. GUDDU is currently witnessing an average level discharge of 500,000 Cusecs, Sukkur faces high flood levels with 571,000 Cusec, while Kotri is experiencing medium -level flows, but is still at risk of potential floods.
The NEOC warned that heavy rains can trigger dangerous surge in torrents of the hill and mountain streams. Citizens have been urged to avoid crossing flooded roads, bridges and nullahs during the high flow.

Residents of flood -prone areas that are maintained updated through official alerts and the Authority Disaster Alert application have been advised.
