Rescue 1122 has deployed diver personnel along riverbanks in various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to address the risks posed by rising water levels due to heavy monsoon rains and swat flash floods. The deployment aims to strengthen rescue operations, especially in areas at immediate risk of drowning incidents.
According to official updates, Rescue 1122 is making every possible effort to provide emergency services using all available resources. This includes positioning divers strategically in flood-prone districts to ensure timely response during ongoing swat flash floods. The emergency teams are focused on assisting stranded individuals, preventing further casualties, and supporting communities affected by the disaster.
The situation remains critical following the swat flash floods drowning incident on June 27, 2025, in the Swat River region.

Rescue 1122, along with the Pakistan Army and other agencies, has conducted extensive operations in multiple areas, including Swat, Malakand, and Lower Dir.
Rescue 1122 teams are actively working at eight key locations along the Swat River, where the water flow at Khwazakhela has reached very high flood levels. The operations are being supported by Civil Defence and local police, with continuous monitoring of river levels and high-risk zones.
The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) have issued fresh warnings for potential flash floods in Swat and surrounding regions. Authorities have advised the public to stay away from riverbanks, follow safety instructions, and cooperate with rescue teams during ongoing swat flash floods response efforts.
For verified updates on the rescue operations and further warnings related to swat flash floods, the public is urged to follow official statements from Rescue 1122, PDMA, and NDMA.
