LAHORE: India is releasing water from its dams over Sutlej and Beas which is likely to generate low flood at Ganda Singhwala on August 13, according to local media reports.
The Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) said on Tuesday that the flow in River Sutlej at Ganda Singhwala was likely to increase from 45,000 to 55,000 cusecs on August 13. As a result, river Sutlej is likely to attain low flood at this point, reportedly.

The FFD said River Indus at Guddu, Sukkur and Kotri was in high flood. It was in medium flood at Chashma and Taunsa and in low flood at Tarbela and Kalabagh. River Kabul was also in low flood at Nowshera, sources further added.
