DADU:
The water level at Manchar Lake in Dadu district reached a dangerous a point on Saturday.
The authorities opened all seven spillway gates of the reservoir to ensure that the lake does not overflow and inundate adjoining villages, and areas of Sehwan and Bhan Saeed Abad.
According to Flood Emergency Control Room, the water level has reached 115 feet.
