India has once again released more water into the Sutlej River Flood, sparking fears of another major disaster. Officials say this action is part of New Delhi’s ongoing water aggression and clear violation of the Indus Waters Treaty.
According to the Ministry of Water Resources, the Indian High Commission has already warned Pakistan of extremely high flooding at two points on the Sutlej. Harike and Ferozepur are expected to face dangerous water levels in the coming hours. Emergency alerts have been issued to all concerned departments to deal with the looming threat.
The Sutlej River Flood has already caused destruction in Jalalpur Pirwala. Raging waves broke through the embankment, submerging many nearby villages. Residents are being shifted to safer areas in an urgent evacuation. Punjab Chief Minister personally monitored the overnight rescue efforts. Additional boats were deployed, while three helicopters joined the mission. The timely opening of the Vehari Bridge helped save the city from being drowned.
The crisis deepened when the Sutlej River Flood merged with the Ravi and Chenab rivers. This confluence created one of the most dangerous situations in recent years. Head Panjnad is now facing an extremely high flood level. In Muzaffargarh’s tehsil Alipur, several villages are under water due to the overflowing streams.
Thousands of acres of fertile land have been destroyed in Khairpur Tamewali, Rahim Yar Khan, and Liaquatpur. Standing crops were washed away, leaving farmers devastated. Authorities warn that within a few hours, another massive wave of the Sutlej River Flood will reach Rajanpur near Kot Mithan. Preparations are under way to minimize human and material losses, but the danger remains severe.
The ongoing Sutlej River Flood is not only a humanitarian crisis but also an alarming sign of India’s continued disregard for water agreements. The disaster has left entire communities on edge, fearing further destruction.
