Rawal Dam spillways to open as water level rises following heavy rainfall

Officials will release water from Rawal Dam at 6 AM Sunday after rainfall pushed reservoir levels to 1,748 feet. The Deputy Commissioner's Office issued warnings for people living in flood-prone zones near Korang Nullah. Authorities recommend that residents avoid traveling close to waterways and take safety precautions. Emergency response teams remain ready to handle potential flooding situations. Local officials encourage public cooperation and suggest monitoring official announcements for updates.

The water release aims to control rising dam levels caused by heavy precipitation throughout Islamabad. Catchment areas have experienced significant water collection that requires management through controlled spillway operations. Residents should prepare for possible water level changes downstream from the dam facility. The administration emphasizes safety measures for communities positioned along natural drainage channels. This preventive action helps maintain structural integrity while protecting nearby populations from potential water-related hazards.
