Heavy monsoon showers are expected to result in urban flooding across Pakistan, according to the National Disaster Management Authority.
Heavy rainfall has already begun in the Punjab, where authorities have urged people to seek shelter from low lying areas.
The irrigation department has gone into high gear to manage embankments and flood structures.
On the other hand, evacuation authorities are also gearing up to rescue people who refuse to leave their lands. Authorities say that they have learnt a great deal from the 2010 floods which ravaged even the driest parts of the country
