Punjab Flood Pressure Eases as Sutlej & Panjnad Inflows Decline
After several days of continuous rainfall, Punjab Flood Pressure Eases as Sutlej & Panjnad Inflows Decline, showing signs of improvement. The water flow in key rivers such as the Chenab, Sutlej, and Ravi is gradually decreasing. However, despite the drop in water levels, many areas are still facing flood-related challenges, especially low-lying regions near the rivers.
Water Flow at Head Panjnad Drops, But Flood Risk Remains
The Chenab River saw a noticeable reduction in its water flow at Head Panjnad, where the discharge dropped by nearly 30,000 cusecs, reaching 633,000 cusecs. This reduction has brought some relief to the surrounding areas, but the overall flood situation persists. Authorities are closely monitoring the levels as the flood threat has not fully passed yet.
Head Panjnad plays a critical role in controlling water flow downstream. A high discharge level at this point often increases the risk of flooding in southern Punjab regions, making it a key focus area for flood management teams.
Sutlej River’s Flood Force Begins to Break
Encouraging developments have also been seen in the Sutlej River, where the flood intensity has started to reduce. At Ganda Singhwala, the water flow decreased by 78,000 cusecs, resulting in a shift from a high flood level to a low-level flood.
This drop in water pressure is a significant development, as the Sutlej River had previously contributed to serious flooding in nearby districts. With the flood force weakening, nearby communities are hoping for a return to normalcy in the coming days.

Floodwater Enters Malanwali Area in Alipur Tehsil
While water levels are falling in some rivers, certain regions are still suffering from the aftereffects of the recent floods. In Tehsil Alipur, floodwater entered the Malanwali area of Kachha, forcing local residents to evacuate their homes.
Families in this low-lying area had to relocate urgently to avoid the rising water levels. Emergency teams have been dispatched to help with rescue and relief efforts. The incident highlights how even a small change in river flow can cause major disruptions in vulnerable areas.
Medium Flood Still Present at Head Sadhanai (Ravi River)
In the Ravi River, the situation is slowly improving. The water flow at Head Sadhanai has started to decline, yet the region is still experiencing a medium-level flood. Authorities have issued alerts for nearby villages, urging residents to remain cautious.
Flood control teams are actively monitoring the situation and preparing for any sudden changes in water discharge. While the medium flood is less severe than a high flood, it still poses a risk to agricultural lands and homes close to the riverbanks

Overall Flood Situation: Gradual Improvement but Continued Caution
The current flood situation in Punjab shows signs of gradual improvement as water levels in major rivers begin to recede. However, the risk is not completely over. Many areas, especially in southern Punjab, are still vulnerable to waterlogging and potential overflow.
Disaster management authorities are urging people to stay informed, follow official guidelines, and avoid traveling to flood-affected zones. Relief efforts are ongoing, and the government is working to provide shelter, food, and medical aid to displaced families.
