The district administration on Tuesday announced to release water from Islamabad’s Rawal Dam and urged the residents, especially those in vulnerable areas, to take necessary precautions.
With the water level in Rawal Dam reaching 1752 feet, the district administration has confirmed that Rawal Dam’s spillways would be opened on September 11 (Wednesday) at 6 am. While precautionary measures have been put in place to ensure public safety.
Officials have advised residents to stay away from urban river channels, as the water release could lead to higher water flow. Those living in low-lying areas are urged to implement safety measures and be prepared for possible flooding.
