According to a report on September 7, the United States Cable TV News, due to the common impact of strong monsoon and glacier melting, Pakistan's largest Freshwater Lake Moncore Lake broke on the 6th. The flood drowned nearby villages. The cattle in the village were almost destroyed.

It is reported that Lake Monache is the largest freshwater lake in Pakistan, located in the west bank of the Indian River in Lalcana County, Xinde Province. The lake will continue to change throughout the year. The lake surface during the flood is 500 square kilometers wide and the water depth is 4.8 meters; the dry period is only 36 square kilometers.

Recently, Pakistan has continued to be affected by floods, the surface of Mencame Lake has continued to swell, and the risks of the dyke threatened the country's second -most Xinde Province. It is reported that Xinde Province has nearly 48 million people. The authorities are worried that the lake water will be overwhelmed by the city. In order to avoid this extreme dangerous situation, the authorities have made two floods on the lake last week, and some lakes are transferred to areas with low population density. However, this caused a flood in nearby small villages, affecting about 135,000 people.

Sao Luo, Minister of irrigation of the Xinde Province on the 7th, said on the 7th that in order to avoid greater floods in the surrounding cities, this move is necessary. Because Dadu has a population of about 1.55 million.

On the 6th, the lake of Lake Mentchel broke out again. Officials said that this was a dyke, not a flocks.

Shao Luo said that officials warned residents near the lake last Sunday that the lake may be built and urged people to leave the area.

Murad Ali Ali Shatia, the chief minister of Xinde Province, said on the 7th that he did not want to have a dyke accident, but if the authorities did not change the water, the cities within 100 kilometers of the lake, such as the crisis, Dadu, and Mayheh Erdu will be in danger.

At present, these cities are temporarily exempted, and the villages near the lake are the first to be disaster. The villager Taibo lived near the lake. He stood in the rapid water and told the media that his village was flooded, and some places reached 1.5 meters deep. The flood covers the main channel, making any rescue very dangerous.

A resident of another village, Yar Mohammed, stood in the turbid water and said that when the water rushed to the villagers from the waters of Mentchel's embankment, people were caught off guard. "The destruction came too suddenly. The flood destroyed our crops and houses." Around Muhammad, the cattle were almost overwhelmed, and only the head was panting out.

The village where the 35 -year -old villager Gulam Mutazan is located is in the lower reaches of the lake and is still in danger. The government has warned him.

Many villagers are facing major choices, either staying in place to fight the flood, or leave their homes to seek asylum and help.
