Monsoon in Punjab see the seventh monsoon wave. Punjab’s Provincial Disaster Management Authority has issued a flood advisory as the region prepares for its seventh monsoon spell, urging communities to stay alert and safeguard their homes near rivers and low-lying areas.
Over the past few days, heavy rainfall across northern Punjab has pushed rivers and streams towards critical levels, prompting PDMA to ask local administrations to clear drains and monitor water flow closely. In some districts, low-lying roads and fields remain waterlogged after recent downpours.
PDMA officials have called upon residents in plain and river-bank areas to move valuables to higher ground and make basic preparations in case water levels rise further. The authority has also instructed emergency teams to remain ready for prompt help if needed.
