All is well: Khuhro satisfied with prevention measures

SUKKUR: Expressing his satisfaction over the measures taken by the irrigation department with respect to the floods, the Sindh irrigation and information minister, Nisar Ahmed Khuhro said that so far no breach has occurred anywhere.

After the super flood of 2010, the height of most of the protective embankments was raised by six feet.

Speaking to the media at the office of the Sukkur Barrage's executive engineer, Khuhro said that the revenue department was responsible for conducting surveys in the flood-affected areas and that a majority of the flood-affected people had taken shelter with relatives in the pacca areas.

On the reconstruction of the Bunder Wall in Sukkur, he said that round-the-clock supervision is being conducted and action against sub-standard work will be taken once the flood has passed.
