On September 6, 2025, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced that authorities have evacuated over 121,000 people from flood-prone riverine areas due to heavy inflows at key barrages. The rising water levels, driven by intense monsoon rains and upstream water releases, have sparked widespread concern. Relief and rescue operations are in full swing, with teams working tirelessly to protect lives and property as the province braces for potential further surges.

The Sindh Information Department reported significant water flows at major barrages. Guddu Barrage recorded inflows of 360,976 cusecs and outflows of 325,046 cusecs, while Sukkur Barrage saw 329,648 cusecs inflow and 278,398 cusecs outflow. Kotri Barrage reported 237,922 cusecs inflow and 215,567 cusecs outflow. Upstream, Trimmu Barrage maintained equal inflow and outflow at 436,651 cusecs, and Panjnad Barrage recorded 321,570 cusecs. In the past 24 hours, an additional 12,449 residents were relocated from vulnerable katcha areas, bringing the total evacuees to 121,769. Additionally, 14,495 livestock were moved to safety.

The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has deployed rescue boats to Sukkur, Larkana, Shaheed Benazirabad, Hyderabad, and the Pakistan Navy. Meanwhile, 155 health camps, both fixed and mobile, treated 5,848 people in the last day, with a cumulative total of 33,803 receiving medical care. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasts heavy to very heavy rainfall across Sindh from September 7 to 13, raising fears of severe flooding in urban and rural areas.

Minister Memon emphasized that the government is closely monitoring water levels and remains on high alert. “We are fully committed to safeguarding lives and assets,” he said, urging residents to cooperate with evacuation efforts. The situation remains critical, but Sindh’s proactive measures aim to mitigate the impact of this looming flood crisis.
