Anti-India propaganda accounts are spreading false narratives alleging that India deliberately caused devastating floods in Pakistan by recklessly releasing water from its dams. The claim asserts that India’s actions showed a “complete disregard for human life” and amounts to “intentional aggression through water.” However, the actual cause of the floods is heavy monsoon rainfall, which has also severely affected Indian states, and India has consistently issued prior warnings to Pakistan before releasing water.
The account @shahidovcom posted this false claim, stating: “The floods have devastated Pakistan, and India’s reckless water releases show a complete disregard for human life. This is not nature alone – it is intentional aggression through water.”
Truth: Heavy Monsoon Rains, Not Intentional Releases
As this claim gained traction, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team investigated using keyword research and verified sources. We found that an ABC News report stated India officially warned Pakistan of possible flooding due to heavy monsoon rains the first diplomatic contact in months. The alert, sent on humanitarian grounds outside the suspended Indus Waters Treaty, aimed to prevent loss of life. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry confirmed receiving the alert, noting cooperation despite tensions.
According to Deccan Herald, experts denied claims that India deliberately released water to flood Pakistan’s Punjab. They attributed the flooding to torrential rains since mid-August, which pushed nearly all rivers above danger levels.
Reuters reports that India released dam water due to heavy monsoon rains and warned Pakistan of possible cross-border flooding. Sources said the precaution aimed to prevent damage and loss of life. The releases, driven by rising river levels, reflect standard water management and diplomatic communication despite the suspended Indus Waters Treaty.
Times of India reports that over 150,000 were evacuated in Pakistan’s Punjab after India warned of dam releases amid heavy rains. The ‘grave’ floods have prompted relief efforts and military rescues, highlighting a shared humanitarian crisis.
Multiple sources AP News, New Indian Express, ABC News, and The Hindu report that India issued a second flood warning to Pakistan amid heavy monsoon rains and dam water releases. Sent via diplomatic channels on humanitarian grounds, the alerts aim to prevent loss of life and property, reflecting continued disaster cooperation despite political tensions.
