Floodwaters from the Indus River have left thousands stranded across Sindh as the river remains in high flood at Guddu, Sukkur, and Kotri barrages, submerging villages and destroying crops.
According to reports, the water inflow at Chachran Sharif near Rahim Yar Khan has crossed 782,000 cusecs, while at Guddu Barrage it has surged past 612,000 cusecs, with an outflow of over 582,000 cusecs.
In just the last 24 hours, the water level at Guddu has risen by more than 67,000 cusecs and is still increasing. At Sukkur Barrage, the water level has reached 470,000 cusecs, while Kotri Barrage is recording 262,000 cusecs.
In Kandiaro, the Indus burst its banks, washing away crops spread over thousands of acres and flooding dozens of villages.
Residents, trapped in their homes after road connections were cut off, have urgently appealed for government rescue operations.
In Ubauro, authorities have asked locals to evacuate with their livestock as the rising waters inundated agricultural land and villages.
Southern Punjab has also suffered heavy damage, with transport severely disrupted after the closure of Jalalpur Pirwala Interchange, leaving travelers bound for Sukkur and Karachi in trouble.
In Shujaabad, several villages were submerged when a protective dyke collapsed, forcing families into displacement.
Meanwhile, the River Sutlej continues to pose danger, with high flood reported at Empress Bridge in Bahawalpur, medium flood at Ganda Singh Wala, Mailsi, and Head Islam, and low flood at Head Sulemanki, further deepening the crisis.
