Jhang: A flow of around 900,000 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 100,000 cusec at Head Sulaimanki.
He further said that the River Ravi had already experienced a discharge of 220000 cusec, while at Head Balloki, 211,000 cusec were recorded, with an additional 20000 cusec from Nankana Sahib.
The Director General said that this combined flow would culminate in 700,000 cusec at Head Muhammadwala near Multan, where breaching may become necessary to manage the massive water pressure.
