 The new spell of monsoon will continue from July 31 to Aug 6.

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said heavy rains might increase the flow of water in rivers, therefore, rains and flooding were likely to inundate the low-lying areas. 

On the other hand, Indian dams Pong and Thane are also completely filled due to which India may release water into the Ravi River.

The NDMA on Monday issued instructions to the institutions concerned and said they should continue to monitor the release of water in rivers from Indian dams. The Tarbela and Mangla dams have filled more than 70 per cent of their capacity.
