| Flooding reaches Hyderabad |
| 2010-08-22 |
| As floodwaters reached the outskirts of Hyderabad and Thatta on Saturday, more villages and towns were inundated. As the water level in Indus River near Kotri Barrage increased to 760,511 cusecs, floodwater entered Hyderabad's suburbs of Hussainabad and Lab-e-Mehran Park. The army breached illegal dykes to save Hyderabad city from floods. The Hyderabad district coordination officer (DCO) called an emergency meeting to take precautionary measures to save the city from floodwater. |
