On the other hand, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has released flood alerts for several areas of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) due to expected monsoon rain from today to Thursday.
Precipitation is expected in Gilgit, Skardu, Hunza and Shigar in Gilgit-Baltistan and Muzaffarabad, Neelum Valley and Bagh in AJK during the period.
Authorities have warned that the rain can cause flooding with the possibility of landslide in hilly regions after heavy rainfall.
In Chitral Valley – including buni and reshun – rain combined with ice melting can lead to increased flow in the river chitral.
The city’s flood is also probably in Muzaffarabad and Bagh.
NDMA has required all affected departments and agencies to take proactive measures, ensure the preparedness of staff, machines and rescue teams and remain aware of responding to any emergency.
