According to the PDMA spokesperson, rivers Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej and their associated streams are experiencing rising water levels, creating a serious flood threat. In the next 24 hours, River Chenab is expected to face moderate to high-level flooding as a major water flow from River Tawi in Indian-occupied Jammu enters its channel. This surge could impact low-lying areas of Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Chiniot, and Jhang.

PDMA Director General Irfan Ali Kathia has instructed Gujrat and Sialkot administrations to stay on high alert. At Head Marala, water inflow has reached 127,000 cusecs with an outflow of 109,000 cusecs, while at Khanki, inflow stands at 128,000 cusecs and outflow at 121,000 cusecs.

The Sutlej River is facing high-level flooding at Ganda Singh Wala, where water flow is reported at 133,000 cusecs. At Head Sulemanki, moderate flooding has been recorded with 94,000 cusecs inflow and 87,000 cusecs outflow. Meanwhile, flash flooding is feared in the hill torrents of Dera Ghazi Khan.

The Indus River is at low-level flood stage at Kalabagh and Chashma, while River Ravi at Jassar is flowing at 53,000 cusecs with low flood levels. Water flow at Shahdara, Balloki, and Head Sidhnai is reported at 18,000, 41,000, and 33,000 cusecs respectively.
