The twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are bracing for more heavy rain as authorities opened the spillways of Rawal Dam early Sunday morning to manage rising water levels. The dam had reached near-full capacity after days of intense monsoon rainfall, prompting a controlled water release to prevent overflow.

The spillways were opened at 6 AM and are expected to remain open for several hours. The release is likely to increase water flow into Korang Nullah and surrounding low-lying areas, raising the risk of urban flooding.

Rescue and emergency teams have been placed on high alert, while residents in vulnerable areas have been advised to take precautions and stay away from water channels. The Meteorological Department has forecast continued rain in the coming days, further intensifying the situation.

Authorities have also warned that additional spillway openings may be required if rainfall persists and water levels continue to rise.
