Chenab’s Rising Waters Put Multan at Risk
Authorities in Punjab have issued warnings as rising waters of the Chenab River threaten to inundate parts of Multan. Heavy rainfall upstream and increased water release from dams have contributed to a significant rise in river levels, prompting concerns over potential flooding in vulnerable areas.
Emergency services are on high alert, with evacuation plans being prepared for low-lying neighborhoods. Local administration is coordinating with disaster management teams to monitor water levels, reinforce embankments, and provide relief to at-risk communities.
Residents have been advised to stay informed, avoid crossing flooded roads, and follow instructions from authorities to ensure safety. Health officials also warn of potential waterborne diseases in flood-affected areas and stress precautionary measures.
The provincial government is working with meteorological and water authorities to manage the situation and mitigate damages. Efforts are ongoing to balance water release with flood control, aiming to protect both urban and agricultural zones from the impact of the swollen river.
