(District): Danger as Indus’ Moria dyke faces mounting water pressure

Naundero:The water pressure on Moria loop dye is mounting after water level rise in the Indus River.

The contractor, who was awarded a contract to build three approved dyke spurs, has left the work incomplete due to which water has reached several villages including Sajan Agani village which has also damaged their standing crops and guava orchids.

Sajan Agani village residents, Qurban Agani, Ghulam Hyder, Naveed, Mazhar, Pervaiz Ahmed, and Abdul Wahab Agani told newsmen on Wednesday that the dyke work was approved two years back, but the influential contractor shifted his machinery all of a sudden without completing it, which had created a lot of problems now for the nearby villages.

They said water was constantly going back after hitting Moria loop dyke and it was feared that the dyke would also be damaged. They said they also informed irrigation department officials who visited the dyke randomly, but they did not do anything which had resulted in destruction of their homes, cattle, crops and guava orchids for which they should be taken to task.

They said irrigation department officials were now doing stone pitching work which was not only useless now but wastage of public money because water pressure would wash stones away. They said they had suffered huge losses in this price-hike era. They demanded completion of left work to save people from flooding.
