30-FOOT BREACH: Crops in Mubarakpur Minor inundated

SUKKUR: Standing cotton crops spread over hundreds of acres were inundated when a 30-foot wide breach occurred in Mubarakpur Minor near Khanpur Mahar, district Ghotki early Sunday morning. Villagers, Habibullah Mahar and Mir Muhammad Mahar, told a Khanpur Mahar-based reporter that they had informed the irrigation department about the breach but no official came. The villagers then plugged the breach after eight hours of hectic efforts. “We will go to a court of law against the inept attitude of the irrigation officials,” vowed one of the villagers.
