ATTOCK:

The main supply line from the Shakardara Small Dam in Dheri Lagal, a village on the outskirts of Attock, is leaking in several places due to the negligence of the irrigation department.

As a result, valuable farmland, worth millions of rupees, has been rendered unusable, with fields turning into ponds instead of producing crops.

Prominent local figure Sardar Asad Ali Khan and other landowners expressed their frustration, stating that despite repeated written complaints, the irrigation department has failed to address the issue.
