"By inflicting the breach, we have tried to save Sehwan town. Water levels on Johi and Mehar towns in Dadu district would be reduced by this breach in the lake," Mr Shoro said.Aside from historic rainfall, southern Pakistan has had to contend with increased flooding as a surge of water flowed down the Indus river.
Being downstream on the Indus River, the southern parts of the country have witnessed swelling river waters flowing from the north. Downstream in Sindh, barges are under pressure with the Indus River in high flood level, the NDMA said in its latest situation report.It cautioned local administrations to be on an enhanced state of alertness, and to restrict vehicle movement in areas prone to flash floods and landslides as well as those close to water channels.The overnight death toll from the floods increased by 25, of which 12 were children, according an NDMA update.
