Flood peak in Pakistan’s Indus delayed as Punjab warns of fresh deluges in Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej

KARACHI: The peak of a flood in Pakistan’s Indus river has been delayed and is now likely to bring flows of 800,000 cusecs to Guddu Barrage on Sept. 9, the Sindh provincial chief minister said on Sunday, as the eastern Punjab province warned of “extremely high flooding” in Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej rivers. Heavy monsoon rains and excess water released by Indian dams have caused Punjab’s rivers to swell, triggering floods in the province since late August.
