Sindh floods once again hang over the province like a shadow of memory. In Sehrish Nagar, homes now stand trapped in water, clinging to fragile ground as river levels rise near Kotri. For many residents, the sight is a haunting reminder that water never forgets.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari stepped forward on Thursday, expressing sympathy for families suffering from the Punjab floods and praising the courage of volunteers. Turning to Sindh, he reassured citizens that the government is fully alert.
“This is a time to set aside differences and stand united,” Bilawal urged, calling on PPP workers and office bearers to play their role in relief and rescue efforts as the Sindh flood threat looms closer.
Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon echoed Bilawal’s message during a press conference in Karachi. He confirmed that Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has established a dedicated monitoring cell to track water levels and coordinate relief.
According to Memon, Guddu Barrage is currently seeing an outflow of over 300,000 cusecs, while Kotri records 240,000 cusecs. Despite the alarming figures, he stressed that 2025 will not be a repeat of the 2010 disaster.
To ease the impact of potential Sindh floods, the provincial government has begun distributing tents, mosquito nets, and jerry-cans to affected areas. Elected representatives have been instructed to remain in their constituencies to oversee relief operations personally.
Memon added that while three provinces have passed resolutions on dams, natural disasters like these cannot be fully prevented. Preparedness, he stressed, is the key to minimizing damage.
As the Sindh floods warning intensifies, the government insists it has learned lessons from the past. Relief camps are being stocked, monitoring teams remain active, and officials are on high alert.
For now, people wait anxiously by the riverbanks, torn between fear of the rising waters and hope in the promises of their leaders.
