The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has warned of continuous water pressure in rivers Chenab, Ravi, and Sutlej. A major flow is expected to reach Guddu and Sukkur barrages between September 4 and 5, with discharge levels projected between 700,000 and 1.1 million cusecs.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said preparations are underway for a possible super flood in Sindh. He stated that whether the flow reaches 900,000 or 1 million cusecs, the Kacha areas will submerge. The provincial government has identified six sensitive points and is coordinating with the Pakistan Army to protect Guddu barrage and Sukkur barrage.
