Author: By Our Correspondent

NAUDERO: As many as 60 to 70 stones-laden trucks were being unloaded at Moria Loop Bund by contractors to save it from breach. After last night’s rain the flow of water has increased and was directly hitting Bund. It has developed about 30 feet breach and water had entered into the apron. Stone pitching work is completed up to 70 percent while building of shank bund up to 40 feet by constructing three T-heads has now been started in view of the change of water course situation. The federal government had also approved stone pitching and apron work of Moria Bund for which an amount of Rs 30 million has been allocated, out of which half has been released. Lightening system has also been installed for flood fighting, stones and mud were being put at the place where water was directly hitting the embankment to save it from further damage/erosion.
