Strong flood in Punjab, 200 thousand evacuated

A severe flood occurred in Pakistan's Punjab province due to heavy rainfall and river overflows. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to official data, more than 200 thousand people were evacuated for safety reasons. Rescue services are assisting residents in affected areas using boats.

Due to the sharp rise in water levels in the Ravi and Chenab rivers, military forces were deployed to some areas. Officials are urging people to stay away from rivers and low-lying areas.

The city of Sialkot experienced the heaviest rainfall in the last 49 years. As a result of this rain, many houses, cars, and other buildings were submerged.

Thousands of people were relocated to temporary shelters with the help of rescuers. However, some residents are unwilling to evacuate.

They do not want to leave behind their property and livestock. Experts warn that such decisions pose a serious threat to life.

This year, heavy monsoon rains have caused significant damage in both Pakistan and India. Hundreds of people have died in both countries.

Authorities advise the public to remain vigilant and move to safer areas whenever possible.
