High River Levels in Sindh: Preparedness and Community Support Addressing Flood Concerns
As river levels in Sindh remained high over the weekend, local authorities are on high alert, ensuring preparedness against potential flooding. The Pakistan Army is stepping in, offering support to civil administration, reinforcing their commitment to the safety of residents. It’s a reassuring sight to see communities coming together in such challenging times.
Recent reports from the provincial rain and flood emergency monitoring cell indicate significant flows at key barrages. The Guddu Barrage, for instance, recorded a high flood with inflows of 544,658 cusecs and outflows of 514,051 cusecs. Meanwhile, the Sukkur Barrage marked a medium flood with 470,580 cusecs inflow, and the Kotri Barrage experienced a low flood with 262,509 cusecs inflow. Notably, Panjnad showed inflow and outflow levels at 575,195 cusecs.
In anticipation of the worst, army and civil administration officials are proactively inspecting vulnerable areas like Dadu, Jamshoro, Sukkur, and Guddu. They are watching over embankment strengthening efforts and vital preventive measures. To support the community even further, army-run medical camps are now providing free treatment to residents, committing to remain active should flooding escalate.
In a recent statement, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon praised the leadership of PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, describing him as a “ray of hope” for flood victims. Memon emphasized the party’s dedication to full rehabilitation, especially since agriculture has been hit the hardest. He welcomed the federal government’s announcement regarding environmental and farm emergencies, yet expressed concern over delays in the Benazir Income Support relief package promised by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Bilawal has been proactive, touring affected districts across Punjab and Sindh, and engaging with provincial leaders to devise recovery plans for farmers. His call for swift federal support reflects the collective desire for rapid action during this crisis.
