Provincial Disaster Management Authorities (PDMAs) of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on August 19 issued a flood alert after India released water towards Pakistan without preschedule.

According to the alerts, India had released 150,000 to 200,000 cusecs water into the River Sutlej which entered Pakistan through Ganda Singh Wala, a border village near Kasur.

Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar had summoned an emergency meeting in Lahore to discuss the situation arising due to release of water in river Sutlej by India.
