In The North of Pakistan, A 7-kilometer-Large Lake is “on the Verge of Bursting” after persistent Rain and Mudflows. This could lead to “Catastrophic Floods” That Threaten Multiple Districts, Accordance to the Pakistani Government.

The Lake Has Formed in Recent Days because a Large Mudflow is Blocking an Important Riverbed of the Gilgit River. Since Friday, the Water Has Been Unable to Reach the Part Known As the Ghizer River.

The Blockage Has Created A Kind of Dam, which experts Say is on the Verge of Bursting. “That would have Disastrous Consequences,” Warns Director Zakir Hussain of the Provincial Disaster Relief Agency.

Floods Could Reach at Least Four Lower-Lying Districts. Residents of the Ghizer, Gilgit, Astore, and Diamer Districts Are in Serious Danger. They are advised to leave homes near the river.

However, it is not excluded that the problem will solve its self. Then the water from the lake would have to leak away in Another Place. Accordance to experts, this is happening in some places. But They Cannot Say with Certainty Whether the Danger Has passed.

Pakistan and India Have Been Hit by Heavy Monsoon Rains Since This Month. In Various Pakistani Provinces, A Total of 785 People have died in Floods and Mudslides.
