Several areas in Punjab are facing a flood situation after India released additional water into the Sutlej River, raising water levels at various points, Geo News reported.

According to the report, the release of water has caused levels to rise at Head Sulemanki and Head Islam. In Bahawalpur, a breach occurred at the Zamindara embankment near Dera Bakha, submerging thousands of acres of standing crops. The rising water has also increased pressure on the Empress Bridge.

In Kasur, floodwater entered villages near Ganda Singh Wala, severely damaging crops. Authorities in Pakpattan and Arifwala have taken precautionary measures as flood conditions continue to worsen.

Meanwhile, the Indus River is experiencing high-level flooding at Taunsa. More than 60 villages are underwater, with floodwater entering riverine areas of Taunsa, Darahma, and Ghazi Ghat. Local authorities have directed residents to move to safer areas to avoid further losses.
