India has escalated alerts to Pakistan about probable flooding in the Tawi river, following continuous rainfall forcing dam water releases, sources reported on Wednesday.
Routed through India's Ministry of External Affairs, these warnings were issued on humanitarian grounds, despite suspended data exchanges following a tragic attack in Jammu and Kashmir linked to Pakistan.
Beginning Monday, progressive alerts have highlighted the dangerous water levels resulting in the opening of sluice gates in key reservoirs.
