The overflowing water from Manchhar Lake partially collapsed a bridge near Sehwan city and subsequently disconnected Dadu and Larkana districts from both sides of the Indus highway.
According to National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP), all kinds of traffic going to Dadu has been blocked due flood water on Indus Highway near Sehwan.
According to authorities, Sehwan Airport and Sindh Chief Minister’s native village Bajara have also been submerged. The Indus Highway from Khairpur Nathan Shah had already been submerged for over a week.
According to the district administration, water is continuing to flow from Manchhar Lake embankment RD- 54 and 52 and it had entered the limits of the five union councils.

The embankments of the Manchhar Lake were given two more cuts on Monday as the single breach given on Sunday failed to reduce the water pressure.
