LAHORE
\nThe administration in the districts along the Ravi and Chenab rivers is on high alert to deal with any emergency following the release of water into both rivers by India.
\nIndia released 180,000 cusecs of water in Auj Nullah, a tributary of the Ravi River, and 150,000 cusecs of water in Tawi River, a tributary of the Chenab River. A 30,000 cusecs water current passed through Nullah Dek the other day, inundating hundreds of acres of paddy crops. The water entered the fields due to the lack of an embankment at the point of Deoli.
\nIn Burewala, an eight-year-old child had been swept away by a water current in Mauza Jodeka the other day. Dozens of settlements were also flooded in the village after an embankment was breached. In Arifwala, an embankment in Mauza Nakra Haider was breached.
\nIn Wazirabad, there is a high-level flood at Head Qadirabad in the Chenab River. In Thul, a 20-foot-wide breach occurred in Musa Allahabad Canal. The canal water entered houses and the Government Primary School, Rahim Bakhsh.
\nThe canal water started moving toward the urban population. The residents were faced with difficulties. Despite the information, the officials of the Irrigation Department did not reach the spot, and the locals were busy plugging the breach on a self-help basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
