The NDMA has warned that the Ganda Singh Wala barrage on the Sutlej River is experiencing “unprecedented flood levels”, registering water flow of over 350,000 cusecs and rising.

“The flow may increase further due to rain and potential floodwater releases from India,” the authority said in a post on X. “Authorities and rescue agencies are on high alert. The public is urged to follow the instructions of [the] local administration.”
