Pressure at lake eases as water flows into Indus
2010-09-19
[Dawn] With floodwaters gushing from breaches in the Manchhar lake embankment finally falling into the Indus near Karampur town, officials of the Sindh government and Pakistan Army have heaved a sigh of relief.

According to irrigation officials, the swollen lake was receding rapidly on Saturday. They said the water level in the lake had fallen to 118RL (reduced level) from 121RL

The officials said that more than 100,000 cusecs of water was flowing from the lake and making its way to the river through human settlements.

ARTIC = The DPRK's intent to militarily threaten the South = ROK is deemed as UN-CHANGED DESPITES ERIOUS ECONMIC SHORTAGES + FOOD SHORTAGES

NORTH KOREA is also repor upset that SEOUL has chosen to donate only 5000 tonnes of rice to the North to help alleviate food losses wrought by the recent floodings [read, SOUTH KOREA STILL WANTS/DEMANDS A FORMAL APOLOGY FROM THE DPRK FOR THE "CHEONAN" INCIDENT, NO APOLOGY = MINIMAL-TO-NO-AID, OR OTHER, FROM ROK TO DPRK].

IIUC, BOTH ARTICS = IMO NORTH KOREA may be exploiting NATURALLY-OCCURRING PHENOMENONA TO ENGAGE IN REPOS ANDOR REINFORCEMENT OF DPRK MILFORS INCLUD FOR MIL FIRST-STRIKE OR PREEMPTIVE STRIKE AGZ SOUTH KOREA???
