Punjab reels as Pakistan forecasts new river flood peaks, Sindh cities at risk
ISLAMABAD/KARACHI: Pakistan on Friday warned of new flood peaks on the Chenab and Indus rivers and possible urban flooding in Sindh, as the monsoon continued to batter Punjab’s agricultural heartland and threaten millions downstream. Punjab, home to half of Pakistan’s 240 million people and most of its wheat and rice production, has been hit hardest by this year’s monsoon. Provincial officials said 49 people have died in the current Ravi–Sutlej–Chenab flood spell, while the seasonal monsoon death toll for Punjab since mid-June has reached 183.
