THE WATER

The department's spell runs Sep 12 to 17 with the westerly wave strengthening from Sep 14, and the provincial authority carries heavy rain, hail and urban-flood risk over Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Faisalabad and Lahore, Sep 14–17, with flash-flood and landslide risk on the northern streams — onto an Indus system already carrying upstream water. No new flooding is confirmed yet. The season figure stands at a reported 183 dead and 515 injured (KP 74, Punjab 64, Sindh 17, AJK 16, Balochistan 8, Islamabad 3, Gilgit-Baltistan 1) of a Sep-11/12 vintage that did not move this run. (Handled with care.)
