Worst Ever Floods Situation In Pakistan 

Pakistan is facing a flood situation in both KPK and Punjab. During mid-August, floods in KPK killed more than 300 people in KPK, and overall this year, the monsoon has killed over 800 people. The reason for the flood in Pakistan and why it is getting worse and worse is that there are not enough dams and climate change. 

According to the world, Pakistan requires USD 320 billion in 7 years to tackle climate change and prepare for the flood in the near future. However, Pakistan itself cannot manage to create these funds, and they will be required for many other pledge funds for Pakistan. 
 

Floods in Punjab, Pakistan

The National Disaster Management Authority too has warned that monsoon rains would fall in heavy sprays within the next 2 days, and this could spell out disaster for rivers overflowing in different places in Lahore as well as in other parts of Punjab. In addition, it possesses weather systems and is highly moisturized with origins at the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea and typically leads to heavy rains, especially in the elevated and central parts of Punjab.

This situation may lead and may also give rise to urban flooding, abrupt flash floods, and landslides. The region surrounding the Ravi River is the most vulnerable presently, as there are forewarnings that city submergence in addition to river overflow is highly probable.

The Ravi is already reaching extraordinarily high levels at Jassar already, with a slumbering intake of 202,020 cusecs. Shadhara and reports of Head Baloki also experiencing medium-level floods further down, and this is causing the people residing close by serious concerns. The police are putting a tight cordon around such places as Narowal, Shahdada, and the northern outskirts of Lahore to counter flood situation. 

Especially at risk for floods are localities like Kot Mahbo, Aziz Colony, Qaiser Town and Faisal Park. By the Ferozewala region in Sheikhupura, there is a higher risk for floods in areas such as Faizpur Khu, Burj Attari and Kot Abdul Malik; in fact, Ganesh Pur was also on alert in Nankana Sahib. This is being monitored in Pattoki tehsil (such as Phool Nagar and Kot Sardar) in Kasur and flood-prone villages in Khanewal (such as Ghauspur and Abdul Hakim). 

NDMA Advise to Counter Floods Situation

The authorities are urging residents of such localities to prepare by assembling emergency kits to help them in such localities by furnishing clean water, dry food, basic medicines, and flashlights.Meanwhile, local authorities have been told to implement their emergency plans and tighten ground safety operations to counter floods in Punjab.

Ruda, River Ravi Evacuated 

Punjab itself is experiencing severe flooding problems as the Ravi, Chenab, and Sutlej rivers have rapidly surged due to unrelenting monsoon rain and the discharge of water into the rivers by India.It has caused mass evacuations, emergency funds to be disbursed, and army teams have been deployed to assist in the effort of rescuing people.

Irfan Ali Kathia, Director General of PDMA, cautioned that about 150,000 cusecs of water are anticipated to pass through Shahdara.At the same time, the flow at Kot Naina on the Ravi River has risen to 230,000 cusecs, and Jassar is also reporting a rise over 229,000 cusec flow. Around 150,000 people have been evacuated, where were located near Ravi, Chenab, and Sutlej rivers. It has been reported from Punjab's Gujranwala Division that at least around seven people have lost there life during floods in Punjab this year. 

India Weaponizing Water against Pakistan

In an interview in Geo News Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath, Ahsan Iqbal informed him that water is currently being used by India as a weapon as they want flood situation to get worst in Pakistan.With severe flooding, he found himself discussing the enormous flooding of Punjab, whereby large slabs of Punjab have been submerged due to the overflowing Ravi, Sutlej, and Chenab rivers.In addition, among the key individuals involved in the federal government, Ahsan Iqbal has been brought forward as one of the right individuals who have been proved right in the past too.As such, there is no denying that India is taking advantage of this scenario and weaponizing this scenario against Pakistan to cause maximum harm to Pakistani people and its land, which is shame for nation.
