NDMA opens Tarbela Dam spillways, warns of high Indus River flow near tourists

Officials from the National Disaster Management Authority released spillway waters at Tarbela Dam after water levels reached concerning heights. The controlled release will boost Indus River flow rates to around 250,000 cusecs. Authorities issued advance warnings to relevant agencies across the region for emergency preparedness measures. Local residents received strong advisories against venturing near water channels during this period. The public faces heightened safety risks from the increased river discharge.

Tourists planning visits to recreational areas along the Indus River must exercise extreme caution during this water release period. Local authorities will provide updated safety guidance as conditions change throughout the operation. The spillway opening represents standard flood management protocol when reservoir capacity approaches dangerous levels. Emergency response teams have positioned themselves strategically along vulnerable riverbank communities. The water management decision aims to prevent potential flooding while maintaining dam structural integrity.
