A flow of around nine hundred thousand cusec is passing through in the Chenab river in Jhang creating a highly critical situation.
Talking to the media in Lahore, the Director General Provincial Disaster Management Authority of Punjab Irfan Ali Kathia said a potentially dangerous situation can develop at Head Islam within next few hours as the flow has exceeded one hundred thousand cusec at Head Sulaimanki.
He further said that the River Ravi had already experienced a discharge of two hundred twenty thousand cusec, while at Head Balloki, two hundred eleven thousand cusec were recorded, with an additional twenty thousand cusec from Nankana Sahib.
The Director General said that this combined flow would culminate in seven hundred thousand cusec at Head Muhammadwala near Multan, where breaching may become necessary to manage the massive water pressure.
