The outflow of water at Head Sulemanki has exceeded 71,000 cusecs owing to India’s release of the second largest current of water in River Sutlej.
The river was completely filled to capacity at Pakpattan and started entering nearby villages. Hundreds of acres of land have been inundated, said the irrigation officials.
There is a fear of the floodwater entering residential areas of Nullah Bhed. There is also a fear of Model Town, Kotli Behram, Malke Kalan and adjacent areas being submerged.
Residents of these areas are concerned they will get trapped for days. Kotri water level continuously increasing
