‘Take it seriously’: Punjab’s monsoon torrents push south, raising flood fears in Sindh

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s southern Sindh province is bracing for potentially catastrophic flooding as swollen rivers from the north rush downstream, the provincial government said on Tuesday, urging vulnerable riverbank communities to move to relief camps as authorities reinforced embankments along the Indus, the country’s longest river. The alert comes after weeks of record monsoon rains across Punjab, Pakistan’s agricultural heartland, where millions of people have already been displaced by torrents from the Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej rivers.
