ISLAMABAD: The flooding in Punjab was made worse by New Delhi’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and the collapse of the gates on an Indian barrage.
The middle section of Madhopur barrage, which spans the Ravi River in India, was washed away by surging water, the Reuters news agency reported, referring to video broadcast by Indian media a day earlier.
Pakistani officials said that this damage unleashed an uncontrolled flow across the border, flooding some parts of Lahore on Friday.
