India continued its water aggression against Pakistan and once again released water in the River Chenab without prior notice, which created a low-level flood situation at Head Marala in Pakistan,
According to the channel report, India has opened two gates of the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River.
Sources said additional water was initially released from the Dul Hasti Dam, while the gates of the Baglihar Dam were later opened to facilitate the discharge of the excess water arriving from the upstream reservoir.
According to sources familiar with the situation, the exact volume of water released by India from its dams has not been made public.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) confirmed on Monday that water levels at Head Marala have been rising steadily.
Officials said river inflows at the Head Marala site increased from 41,000 cusecs a day earlier to 62,000 cusecs.
The division warned that a low-level flood situation could develop at Head Marala within the next 24 hours if water levels continue to rise.
According to the Flood Forecasting Division, water outflows at Head Marala have also increased considerably, rising from 14,000 cusecs to 35,000 cusecs.
