RAHIM YAR KHAN: Two breach occurred in the Senawar Minor canal near Chak 150-P on Manthar Road in Sadiqabad, 40 km from Rahim Yar Khan, on Sunday morning.

The first breach, measuring 15 feet, reportedly happened near Chak 150-P when water was released into the canal from the headworl(s near Pull Dagga on Saturday.

The canal originates from the Adam Sahaba Distributry canal. Shortly after, a large hole measuring 20 feet appeared downstream, causing water to gush out.

The high water flow resulted in the flooding of several acres of land, affecting sugarcane, fodder, and some mango orchards. With time, the breach widened and submerged the canal bank.

Local residents promptly informed the irrigation staff about the situation. However, according to the Senior Engineer Abdul Wahid, there was no breach in the Senawar Minor canal. He stated that it was a leakage of 20 feet below the canal bank.

The irrigation staff immediately repaired the leakage. -Correspondent
