Due to recent heavy rains, water levels in Rawal Dam have risen sharply, reaching 1,751 feet. Authorities have announced that the dam’s spillways will be opened today at 1:30 PM to manage the increasing water volume. Assistant Commissioner Nilore will oversee the operation to ensure smooth and safe water discharge.
Rescue, security, and medical teams have been deployed at key locations for immediate emergency response. The district administration has advised residents to avoid unnecessary activities near the dam area as all necessary safety measures have been completed to mitigate potential risks.
Similarly, Khanpur Dam on the Haro River has seen its water storage rise to 1,980.80 feet. Given the ongoing rainfall in the catchment area, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has scheduled spillway operations to begin today at 1:30 PM, expected to continue for six hours to regulate the water level safely.
NDMA has issued precautionary advisories for residents of Hassan Abdal, Attock, and surrounding regions, especially those near the Haro River, urging them to take all necessary safety precautions. Cooperation with authorities and adherence to safety guidelines is emphasized to prevent any damage caused by potential flooding.
Both dam authorities continue to monitor the situation closely while implementing all emergency protocols. Residents are urged to follow official instructions carefully and remain vigilant to avoid any loss of life or property.
