As the flood wave reaches Guddu Barrage, Sindh is on high alert.

There is fear of flooding in Sindh’s riverine (katcha) districts as a significant flood wave is predicted to hit Guddu Barrage today (Sunday).

Announcements are being made in Sehwan to urge those living in the river belt to leave the region.

According to Sindh Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla, every preparation has been done to confront the flood wave.

During his visit to the Sukkur Barrage, Sindh Assembly Speaker Syed Owais Qadir Shah stated that as the flood wave reaches the Panjnad and Guddu Barrages, the situation will become more apparent.

Irrigation officials have stated that the Sukkur Barrage is not in danger from the flood and that work is being done at weak spots in the protecting embankments.
