Irrigation authorities decide to make cut at zero point in LBOD

Reports said that if cut was not made, it is feared that it may breach at any place.

On receiving the information about the cut, the residents of the nearby population are protesting and saying that they will not allow the cut here.

The announcements are also being made that the residents of the area should move to a safe place.

Officials of the Irrigation Department said that a cut will be made at RD 211 zero point of LBOD, which will provide relief to the dangerously rising water level and release water from here to the Indus Delta.

Provincial Minister Sardar Shah, Irrigation Minister Jam Khan Shoro and irrigation officers have been summoned atr Badin.
