SUKKUR:


The trial by Nature of the people of upper Sindh continued on Friday when a 30-foot breach occurred in Garhi Hassan Shakh near Faisal Golo village, Thull. The gushing water flooded more than 25 villages that were already under strain from the rain-related flooding.


The villages included Faisal Golo, Muhabat Banglani, Barkat Ali Banglani. Villagers immediately informed irrigation officials but they failed to reach.

Mehboob Ali Golo, Himmat Golo, Nazar Banglani, Ghous Bux Banglani told the media that two to three feet of water had accumulated in their villages from the rains.

As the district administration was not doing anything to help with the already standing floodwater, they had started draining it on their own - but the breach set them back severely.
