Sri Fatehgarh Sahib/Sep 2:
(Ravinder Singh Dhindsa)
Two small breaches occurred at Burji No. 13443 of the Nirwana Branch of the Bhakhra Main Line Canal. Upon receiving the information, Deputy Commissioner Dr. Sona Thind immediately reached the site despite the heavy rainfall and, under her direct supervision, got the breaches closed. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Thind said that although the breaches were minor, it was necessary to plug them on a priority basis as a precautionary measure since the possibility of more heavy rainfall cannot be ruled out. She assured that there is currently no flood-like situation in district Fatehgarh Sahib, but the administration is maintaining full vigilance.
