SUKKUR: A flood warning<\/a> has been <\/span>raised<\/span> for the Guddu and Sukkur barrages, given<\/span>\u00a0the <\/span>spillway <\/span>opening <\/span>at Tarbela Dam and <\/span>persistent<\/span> monsoon rains. <\/span>Heavy rains are <\/span>pounding<\/span> some<\/span> areas <\/span>of Pakistan <\/span>during<\/span> the monsoon season, <\/span>causing<\/span> flash floods in the <\/span>north<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>There is a <\/span>chance<\/span> of low to moderate-<\/span>grade<\/span> flooding at the barrages <\/span>within<\/span> the <\/span>next<\/span> week<\/span>, according to officials<\/span>.

Although there is yet no direct danger to residential areas in riverine (Katcha) areas, officials have warned that crops in low-lying areas that are already standing can be underwater <\/span>due to the <\/span>heightening<\/span> water <\/span>level<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Relevant departments have been ordered<\/span> to <\/span>stay<\/span> on <\/span>standby<\/span> for any emergency <\/span>action<\/span>. Earlier, the National Disaster Management Authority<\/a> (NDMA) had sounded<\/span> an\u00a0<\/span>alert <\/span>before<\/span> the <\/span>anticipated<\/span> new monsoon spell in various regions<\/span>\u00a0of the <\/span>nation<\/span>, <\/span>beginning<\/span> on<\/span> Sunday (today).<\/span><\/p>\n

The NDMA‘<\/span>s National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) called upon<\/span>\u00a0people <\/span>to <\/span>remain<\/span> cautious<\/span> as heavy <\/span>showers<\/span>, thunderstorms, and <\/span>possible<\/span> flash <\/span>flooding<\/span> are expected to <\/span>hit<\/span> different<\/span> regions<\/span> of the <\/span>nation<\/span> from July 6 to 10 <\/span>during<\/span> the <\/span>new<\/span> monsoon spell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Impacts<\/span>-based weather <\/span>warnings<\/span> issued<\/span> by <\/span>NEOC <\/span>indicated<\/span> that <\/span>forecast<\/span> monsoon activity <\/span>and<\/span> a <\/span>robust<\/span> westerly wave <\/span>can<\/span> impact several<\/span>\u00a0parts<\/span> of the <\/span>nation<\/span> between<\/span> July 6 <\/span>and<\/span> 10, <\/span>whereas<\/span> northern <\/span>regions<\/span> have<\/span> a<\/span> high<\/span> risk of <\/span>flash <\/span>floods<\/span> between<\/span> July 7 <\/span>and<\/span> 12.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
