Sindh \u2013 Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has issued directives to the Irrigation Department to remain fully alert in preparation for a potential \u201csuper flood.\u201d He warned that if a water flow of 900,000 cusecs enters the province, the entire katcha (riverine) belt could be submerged. He stressed that preventing breaches in embankments and protecting people\u2019s lives and property remain the government\u2019s top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister visited Guddu Barrage to review the situation, where officials briefed him on current water levels. He also inspected vulnerable embankments. Accompanying him were provincial ministers Sharjeel Memon, Jam Khan Shoro, and Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, along with Commander Coast Rear Admiral Faisal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to the media after his visit, Murad Ali Shah said a large flood wave is moving down from Punjab, noting that the Sutlej River at Sulemanki is already experiencing high flood levels. \u201cWe have completed preparations for the incoming flood,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CM said the NDMA report predicts an inflow between 800,000 to 1.1 million cusecs, warning that a 900,000 cusec wave could pose serious risks to Shahi Bund embankment. He added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThere is a danger that the entire katcha area may go under water. We will evacuate residents from there. Protecting human lives and livestock is our foremost priority. The people of katcha will not be left alone, and relief camps will be established soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
He further said the floodwaters are expected to reach Guddu Barrage within 4\u20135 days. If the inflow reaches 800,000 cusecs, the Shank Bund embankment could also be at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Murad Ali Shah emphasized that evacuation to safer areas would be ensured, with the government working to minimize losses of both lives and livestock. \u201cWe have enlisted the support of Rangers and kept the Pakistan Army on alert,\u201d he said, appealing to the media not to create panic while reporting the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
