In the latest act of water aggression, India’s sudden discharge of excess CUSERCS in the Sutlej River has triggered floods in Kasurs Ganda Singh Wala, immersive villages and devastating thousands of hectares of agricultural land.
According to officials, the rescue efforts have been launched as villagers and their livestock are changed to a safer ground.
In Burewala, flooding water spread through the Sahu KA area and nearby rural areas, immersive agricultural land and cut hundreds of villages after a breach of Sahu Ka – Chishtian Road.
Dozens of agricultural families in Bahawalpur and Bahawalnagar so helplessly saw their livelihood washed away as their MAINSTAY crops – cotton, rice and sesame – were now under water.
In addition, panic fluid villagers have been forced to leave ancestors’ homes built over generations, carry what they can and wade through the waist-deep waters in search of shelter.
According to the flood forecast forecast in Lahore, a medium flood passes through the main sulam. The river Chenab is also swelling with a low flood registered by Marala and Khanki.
In the River Indus, moderate flood is reported at Guddu and SUKKUR barriers, while the water level in Tarbela, Kalabagh and Chashma is high enough to cause a low flooding situation, according to the division.
Meanwhile, breaking a long silence since their military standoff, India has reached the Pakistan through the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), which shared details of potential flood threats, official sources said early Monday.
According to sources, New Delhi Pakistan warned of a potentially major flood in the Tawi River at Jammu.
The Indian High Commission in Islamabad conveyed the alarm with the communication performed in the morning of August 24, they added.
It is the first great contact of its kind since the Pakistan India war in May, the sources noted.
After the alarm, Pakistani authorities issued warnings based on the information from India, the sources confirmed.
In the wake of the murder of 26 people in the Pahagam area of the Indian occupied illegal Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in April, India IWT held with Pakistan in Abeyance.
New Delhi accuses Islamabad of orchestrating the deadly militant attack, a claim that Pakistan denies.
Based on these baseless accusations, India waged a war against Pakistan in May, resulting in the heaviest military commitment for decades before a ceasefire was broken by the United States.
The nuclear armed neighbors disagree on the use of the water from rivers flowing downstream from India into the Indus River Basin in Pakistan.
The use of the water is controlled by IWT, which was communicated by the World Bank and signed by the neighbors in September 1960.
There is no provision in the treaty for both country to unilaterally suspend or end the covenant, which has clear dispute resolution systems.
The treaty had survived three wars and other conflicts between the two rivals, while the opposite many turns in diplomatic ties.
