India has warned Pakistan once again of possible cross-border flooding as heavy monsoon rains have caused extensive destruction and fatalities in both nations.
The warning, communicated through humanitarian channels rather than the suspended Indus Waters Treaty, focuses specifically on a surge in the Sutlej River, which is expected to flood into Pakistan on the following day.
Floodwaters have already devastated border communities in Pakistan's Punjab province, affecting millions and leading to mass evacuations.
India has similarly experienced severe flooding, with landslides and swollen rivers in northern states killing at least 29 people last month.
The situation in the capital, New Delhi, is critical with the Yamuna River surpassing danger levels, jeopardizing low-lying areas.
The ongoing crisis has overwhelmed emergency response teams and led to school and office closures in affected regions.
Pakistani officials report over 1 million people have been evacuated, with 2.45 million affected in recent months.
This volatile situation, compounded by tense diplomatic relations following prior water discharge events, underscores the high stakes of natural disasters amid political challenges in the region.
