@gmanews: Residents evacuated with their belongings and livestock in eastern Pakistan’s Kasur district on Tuesday, August 26, as video and still photographs released by the Punjab Police showed. The country said it was facing a “very high to exceptionally high” danger of flooding due to a combination of heavy rains and India’s decision to release waters from two dams. India and Pakistan have been ravaged by intense monsoon rains and flooding in recent weeks. The release of excess water from India's dams threatens to further flood parts of Pakistan's Punjab province, which serves as the country's breadbasket and is home to half of its 240 million people. Pakistan's Provincial Disaster Management Authority said late on Tuesday that India had opened all the gates of its Thein Dam on the Ravi River. India's water resources ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. | via Reuters Video courtesy: Punjab Police Handout via Reuters #GMAIntegratedNews
