The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) has issued an alert warning that the current monsoon system could impact Sindh within the next 12 to 24 hours.
Areas including Kashmore, Karachi, Hyderabad, Thatta, Umerkot, Badin, Mithi, and Tharparkar are likely to face localised urban flooding and moderate inundation in streams and nullahs due to anticipated rainfall. Residents in vulnerable areas are urged to follow instructions from local authorities to mitigate flood risks.
On Monday, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah also directed the irrigation department to prepare an emergency plan to handle potential river flooding.
He stressed the need for proper coordination among law enforcement agencies, the Pakistan Navy, and all relevant departments to address any emergency situations promptly. The NEOC had earlier on Saturday also forecasted flash floods in local streams and nullahs in Punjab, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Narowal, Murree, Galliyat, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Dir, Swat, Kashmir, and the hill torrents of D.G. Khan and Rajanpur.
