ISLAMABAD: Water spilled by India flooded dozens of villages in the Ganda Singhwala area of Kasur on Tuesday morning.

Earlier, India spilled more than 70,000 cusecs of water into the River Satluj in the Pakistani side which mounted its water level to an alarming point and inundated dozens of villages in Kasur after creating an emergency flood situation in the area, a private news channel reported.

River Satluj's water level has constantly been mounting up as more water flows from the Indian side. Concerned authorities have created flood camps in the endangered areas of Kasur to overcome any possible mishap.

Currently, more than 48,000 cusecs of water is flowing in River Satluj at the Ganda Singhwala point and it is expected that an even larger water flow can hit the area.

It is feared that the expected high flood of water can destroy the ready crops on a vast land comprising hundreds of hectares.
