Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah said that the province is under the threat of a super flood.
The chief minister visited Guddu Barrage on Wednesday and told reporters that 400,000 to 500,000 cusecs of water will pass through Sindh. Shah added that the condition of protective embankments was satisfactory.
According to the chief minister, people living in makeshift housing were being shifted to safer locations. The chief minister further said that the performance of the Sindh and Punjab governments was in front of everyone to see.
The Federal Flood Commission (FFC) said a high flood peak is expected to pass through Guddu Barrage during next 24 hours. FFC said River Indus is at low flood stage at Guddu Barrage.
The expected water level in Sindh is likely to remain low because of several breaches in Punjab.
The Sindh government has put irrigation and other authorities on high alert and evacuated people from Kacho (riverbed) area in Dadu district.
The government has also directed authorities to evacuate people from Sukkur, Ghotki, Khairpur and Dadu districts. Other main rivers including Jhelum, Ravi and Sutlej are flowing normal.
