Floods Disrupt Gas Supply as Qadirpur Field Wells Shut; Sindh Villages Submerged

Floodwaters have severely disrupted Sindh’s energy and agricultural infrastructure, forcing the shutdown of 10 wells at the Qadirpur gas field in Ghotki and threatening several villages across Larkana, Kashmore, and Ghotki districts.

Officials confirmed on Monday that gas supply from the affected wells has been suspended after floodwaters entered the field. The disruption underscores the scale of devastation caused by rising water levels in the Indus River and its surrounding areas.

Meanwhile, a 100-foot-wide breach in the Zamindari Dam in Larkana has unleashed a strong flow of water into the shrine of Maluk Shah Bukhari. Authorities fear the stream could soon inundate nearby agricultural lands and populated settlements.

The situation at Guddu Barrage in Kashmore remains tense, with high-level flooding persisting. Officials said water levels are expected to reach Sukkur Barrage within 48 hours. While the barrage itself faces no imminent threat, evacuation operations are underway in vulnerable areas.

According to the district administration, more than 30,000 residents from Kachha areas have been shifted to safer locations as rising waters engulf homes and fields. However, in Ghotki’s Jan Muhammad Ali area, several villages are already submerged, with locals complaining that evacuation efforts have yet to begin.

Victims stranded in flood-hit villages continue to face dire shortages of food, shelter, and medical aid. Relief teams are struggling to reach some of the worst-affected areas due to washed-out roads and continuous water pressure.

Authorities are maintaining round-the-clock monitoring at barrages and dams across Sindh to prevent further breaches as floodwaters move downstream.
