TOBA TEK SINGH: A breach in Moongi minor canal on Tuesday caused inundation of crops on hundreds of acres of farmland in Gojra.

According to local farmers, torrential rain raised water level in the canal, resulting in 20-foot-wide breach near Chak 244-GB.

As a result crops of maize, cotton and fodder on hundreds of acres were destroyed. The breach was plugged by joint efforts of farmers and irrigation department staff.
