SIALKOT: Breaches at 10 different places on the left side of the Nullah Dek led to flooding of 10 villages in Pasrur tehsil after a peak 33,000 cusecs passed through the stormwater channel on Sunday.

The district administration had recently constructed the spur to save Pasrur villages from flooding.

Reports said that India suddenly released floodwater in Nullah Dek on Sunday.

Pasrur Assistant Commissioner Taugeer Ilyas Cheema said the repairing of the damaged spur was briskly underway while a protective dyke on Nullah Dek near Pasrur was also being strengthened to save other villages from flood threats.

The district administration remained unable to plug a 30-feet wide breach in flooded Nullah Baeen near Sakho Chak-Noor Kot village, which inundated around 35 villages in Shakargarh tehsil.

Irrigation officials said the fast flowing of floodwater was hampering their efforts of plugging the breach.

Meanwhile, there was a medium level flood in the River Chenab at Head Marala near Sialkot where the maximum flow of floodwater wasrecorded at 158,423 cusecs.

Flood control focal person/Sialkot DOC Malik Abid Awan said the flood situation was under control in Chenab, Tavi and Jammu rivers and seasonal Nullahs Aik, Dek, Palkhu and Bhed.

The maximum flow of floodwater was recorded at 8,955 cusecs in Nullah Dek near Kingra in Pasrur on Sunday.

He said the floodwater was rising in these rivers and seasonal nullahs due to ongoing heavy rains in the Sialkot region and catchment areas in neighbouring Occupied Jammu andKashmir.

He said the district administration was monitoring the flood situation round the clock.

Sialkot DCO Dr Asif Tufail visited the flooded villages in Chaprar, Bajwat and along banks of the flooded Nullah Dek in Pasrur tehsil and reviewed relief measures.

He said the flow of floodwater was 1,0534 cusecs in River Jammu Tavi and 3,514 cusecs in River Munaawar Tavi near Chaprar. Both rivers were in low flood, he said.
