The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a high-alert warning for extremely heavy rainfall in southeastern Sindh between September 7 and 10, sparking fears of urban flooding in low-lying coastal districts. The advisory comes as a strong weather system, currently positioned over the Gujarat-Rajasthan border in India, moves westward toward Pakistan. According to NDMA, this system is likely to unleash intermittent but intense showers across Sindh, southern Punjab, and adjoining parts of Balochistan during the next few days. Officials have cautioned that the downpour could trigger flash floods in the Kirthar mountain ranges, as well as in the streams and nullahs of Lasbela and Khuzdar. Rain is also expected in the Koh-e-Suleiman belt, raising water flows in local channels of southern Punjab. Authorities have strongly urged residents of vulnerable areas to stay alert, avoid crossing streams during rainfall, and follow the instructions of local administration in case of emergencies. The situation at Sindh’s major barrages has further heightened concern. The Provincial Rain and Flood Emergency Monitoring Cell reported sharp increases in water levels. At Trimmu Barrage, inflows surged by more than 112,000 cusecs in just 12 hours, reaching nearly 488,000 cusecs. Panjnad Barrage remained steady at 345,000 cusecs, while Guddu Barrage recorded inflows of 366,151 cusecs and outflows of over 328,000 cusecs. Authorities warned that a major flood wave is expected to pass through Guddu, putting downstream areas at risk. Residents of Sehwan’s river belt have already been instructed to evacuate as precautionary measures are enforced. Sindh Excise and Taxation Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla confirmed that all necessary arrangements are in place to manage floodwaters, while Speaker of the Sindh Assembly, Syed Owais Qadir Shah, stressed that the full scale of the situation will be clearer once the flood wave reaches Panjnad and Guddu barrages. With Sindh’s coastal and riverine areas on alert, NDMA has advised citizens to remain cautious, ensure safety measures in low-lying areas, and avoid unnecessary movement near flood-prone zones. The coming days will be critical in determining the extent of the threat as rainfall and flood peaks converge across the province.
