Authorities have warned of a possible flood in Ravi as a huge arrival from Madhopore Headworks of India, a few hours after its notice to Islamabad in New Delhi when it has already slipped into the Pakistani area.
Diplomatic sources told Geo News that New Delhi contacted Pakistan in two days on Monday so that after issuing a previous warning about the river Tawi in Jammu, Islamabad could be warned about a possible flood in the river Stalge, diplomatic sources told Geo News.
Tawi is a river that flows into the Indian -occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and Sialkot district of Punjab, Pakistan. Tawi Chenab is a left -wing bank.
It marked India’s first major diplomatic connection since the May Military Stand of, after which New Delhi’s attempt to stop the terrorist attack in IIJK in Islamabad and its decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) was tried to New Delhi.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has said in its advice that heavy rains have been forecast in the Indian states, including Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, which can flourish the rivers and rivers flowing towards Pakistan.
According to the Authority’s National Emergency Operations Center notification, the 24 -hour situation is monitoring the situation.
According to the forecast, the river Ravi will experience high levels of floods within the next 48 hours, with a flow between 80,000 to 125,000 cusecs.
In the upper part of the Chenab, the water level is expected to rise in the Jammu and Tawi rivers, while in the malala, the discharge of the Chenab can climb between 150,000 and 200,000.
The Sutlej situation is also disturbing. In Ganda Singhwala, Kasur, the river flow could increase to 220,000 cusecs, officials said.
On Monday, the flood prophecy division confirmed that the river was already in more floods at the site, which recorded the removal of 182,188 cusecs.
The NDMA also noted that India’s Thane (Ranjit Sagar) Dam is nearing reaching its storage capacity, which has increased the risk of further release. It is expected that small streams and Nola – including AK, DEG, Ben, Bustern and Paulu.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has directed the NDMA to hold daily monsoon review meetings. The authority said it was providing assistance to the provincial and local departments to strengthen preparations and relief efforts.
The Foreign Office confirmed in a statement on Monday that India was obliged to comply with all the provisions of the agreement.
It states that the unilateral announcement to keep India’s IWT unhealthy is a serious violation of international law and can have significant negative consequences for peace and stability in South Asia.
Sources confirmed that after the latest warning, authorities issued a warning based on information provided by India.
New Delhi has accused Islamabad of planning a deadly militant attack, alleging that Pakistan has denied.
On the basis of these baseless allegations, India fought against Pakistan in May, which resulted in the heavy military engagement in decades, before the United States broke the ceasefire.
The Water Agreement survived three wars and other conflicts between the two rivals, while fighting many turns and turns in diplomatic relations.
Reuters reported May 16 that Delhi is considering projects that will potentially reduce the flow of water in Pakistan through the allotted rivers in this country.
India has also said that it will “maintain the agreement until Pakistan ends its support for cross -border terrorism credible and irresistible.”
On the contrary, Islamabad says “any attempt to stop or divert water flow from Pakistan will be a” war work “.
