2022 floods damage RBOD I, II, and III in upper Sindh, pending Rs8.3bn restoration approval amid increasing monsoon risk.

2022 floods severely damaged the Right Bank Outfall Drain (RBOD) I, II, and III in upper Sindh, with RBOD II remaining incomplete for 20 years. The Rs8.3 billion project for RBOD I and III restoration is pending federal government approval. Concerns arise from the reappearance of monsoon rains, increasing the risk of flash floods and putting local communities, agricultural lands, and infrastructure at risk. The pending approval of PC-I not only delays restoration efforts but also raises concerns for the upcoming monsoon season.
