Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada ke Saath’, PDMA Director General Irfan Ali Kathia said that Lahore is now “completely safe”.
“The situation in Shahdara is far less dangerous, as the water has gradually receded,” he said. “The 220,000 cusecs we recorded moving through the area last night has fallen to 161,000 cusecs.”
He added that water levels at the Ravi Syphon and Jassar have fallen.
“However, this water is now causing the levels to rise quickly at Balloki,” Kathia highlighted. “At Nullah Dek in Nakana, 15,000 to 20,000 additional cusecs of water are already in this system.
