KASUR: Crops and vegetables were submerged by the canal water after a breach occurred in Rajba Fateh Muhammad Minor Canal at village Chhabar near Kanganpur.

About 30 feet wide breach occurred on Friday night that was partially filled by the local farmers on Saturday but not before the water had inundated farms of vegetables, turmeric and fodder.

According to the farmers, the crops that were already under threat due to the recent spell of rain would be badly damaged by the water that entered their fields from Rajba.

The farmers blamed the irrigation department for not plugging the canal. They also alleged that despite repeated complaints, the officials concerned did not reachthe spot to minimize the damage.

SHOT: Robbers shot a man on resistance at village Jaggat Singh in the limits of Sara-i-Mughal Police Station.
