Floods in Punjab, which have submerged more than 1.3 million acres of farmland along the eastern rivers, have caused significant damage to the Kharif crops, particularly cotton, prompting fears of food inflation.

Floods have displaced two million people, submerged 2,000 villages, and led to the relocation of 760,000 residents and 516,000 heads of cattle from the affected areas.

The satellite imagery of 24 Punjab districts in the command areas of the Sutlej, Ravi, and Chenab rivers shows that around 3,661 square kilometres, or 4.7 per cent of the total area, remained under floodwaters.

Karachi was expected to experience heavy rain and gusty winds today and tomorrow, the Met Office said in a new forecast, adding that “torrential rains” could cause urban flooding and waterlogging in the city’s low-lying areas. Meanwhile, two teenagers lost their lives due to electrocution during the downpour.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said that a deep depression system that was to cause rain in the city had weakened into a depression that was now lying over central Sindh. It would continue to move nearly west/ southwest-ward and gradually further weaken into a well-marked low pressure area during next 12 hours, the PMD added.

Meanwhile, figures from Sukkur Barrage showed a discharge of 374,800 cusecs upstream and 359,050 cusecs downstream at the same time, according to control room in charge Aziz Soomro.
