Ravi river

Heavy monsoon rains are expected from July 29 to August 5, with warnings of flash floods and landslides in multiple regions. The Indus River is at a medium-flood level at Guddu Barrage, while rescue efforts continue in Lahore as the Prime Minister reviews the monsoon response.

Flood levels in the Chenab River have eased to low from medium, while the Met Office forecasts fresh rainfall starting July 29 in Punjab and northern regions. The PDMA reported stable water flows in several rivers, low-level flooding at specific sites, and urged residents in floodplains to evacuate.

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) warned of rising flood risks in Pakistan as monsoon rains caused medium-level flooding in the Chenab River and low-level flooding in the Indus, Ravi, and Kabul Rivers. Flash floods and urban flooding risks are expected in multiple regions, with advisories urging public caution and preparedness.

Heavy rains in Indian-occupied Kashmir and Punjab are expected to cause a significant surge in the Chenab River's water level, potentially reaching high-flood levels. The Pakistan Meteorological Department's Flood Forecasting Division warns of high flood risks in the Chenab, Jhelum, and other rivers, along with flash and urban flooding in multiple regions.

The Chenab River surged to 180,000 cusecs due to floods in Indian-occupied Kashmir, causing at least 11 deaths and prompting flood warnings for Chenab and Ravi rivers. A landslide in Azad Jammu and Kashmir's Kotli district killed a woman and two children, while the Flood Forecasting Division warned of increased flows from heavy monsoon rains and westerly waves.

Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar accused India of constructing at least 17 water projects to alter the Indus river system, labeling them as tools for 'hydro-hegemony'. He criticized India's unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) and highlighted concerns over illegal actions including reservoir creation and river diversion projects.
