WIDE SHOTS OF RAVI RIVER AND DAMAGED STRUCTURES LAHORE, PAKISTAN - AUGUST 28, 2025: Shahdara, on the outskirts of Lahore, was submerged on Thursday, Aug. 28, as flooding from the Ravi River surged after India opened the gates of its dams during the monsoon season. Heavy floods have wreaked havoc in northeastern Punjab province after torrential rains and India’s release of water from overflowing dams. Several towns near the three major rivers, Sutlej, Ravi, and Chenab, are at risk of catastrophic flooding, with hundreds of houses, shops, and roads inundated in low-lying areas of Wazirabad, Sialkot, Shahdara, Lahore, and Gujranwala. While the Pakistan Meteorological Department warned of more rain in Punjab, the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, and other parts of the country beginning on Friday, which could last until September 2. According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), 14 people have died, 13 in Punjab province and one in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where a house collapsed. The flood has also caused significant damage to homes, crops, and infrastructure in Punjab province. However, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said rescue and relief teams are currently conducting operations, and that a damage assessment survey will be conducted once the water recedes. Pakistani authorities also sent the army to Punjab on Wednesday to help with rescue and relief efforts, after New Delhi warned Islamabad about expected high inflows in the Sutlej, Ravi, and Chenab rivers. India and Pakistan have been battered by relentless monsoon rains and flooding in recent weeks, with over 500 people killed in Pakistan since August 14, mostly over 400 in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and 819 killed across Pakistan since June 26.
