 Larkana Canal breaches; 13 villages flooded

 Updated at: 1110 PST,  Wednesday, September 01, 2010
Larkana Canal breaches; 13 villages flooded LARKANA: Thirteen more villages have submerged under floodwater as efforts to fill the breaches developed in Larkana Canal have failed miserably, Geo News reported Wednesday.

Roaring flood tides are now heading to Badah tehsil.

Meanwhile, two new cracks have developed in MNV Drain near Khairpur Nathan Shah.

According to Irrigation Department sources, raging floodwaters unleashed from two new breaches have washed away two more Goths.

Surging floodwaters have sustained massive pressure against temporary protective embankment built for safety of Shahdadkot District with officials and administrators fearing that the district will remain under danger within next 24 hours.

Floodwaters have been wreaking havoc in Sujawal tehsil of Thatta for last three days with houses, shops, schools, hospitals and grounds inundated under 5-feet deep stagnant water, witnesses told media, adding that officials have failed to rescue stranded people to safer places.
