DADU: Floodwater from breaches in Manchhar Lake is increasing pressure along Indus Link canal near Bhan Syedabad town after having inundated several villages in the union councils of Wahur, Arazi, Dal, Bubak and Jaffarabad in Sehwan taluka on Wednesday.
The floodwater poses serious threat to Bhan Syedabad, which has a population of 150,000 and 10,000 flood victims, prompting Jamshoro deputy commissioner Fareeduddin Mustafa to issue an alert and ask the town residents to evacuate to safe places.
He said the embankments of Sim Nullah (saline water drain) and Indus Link canal might give in to the mounting pressure. The Nullah was overflowing near Talti and Karampur area and water was moving to Talti town.
