After-effects of rain in Kamalia

Published June 21, 2007

TOBA TEK SINGH, June 20: Electricity supply has been restored to most of the localities of Kamalia where supply had been suspended as a result of damage to poles and cables after rain.

Meanwhile, death toll in rain-related wall and roof collapse incidents turned 11. Abdul Hameed, who suffered injuries on Tuesday night when his farmhouse’s roof fell on him at Chak 285-GB, died.

More than 50 injured were under treatment in Kamalia, Rajana, Pirmahal and Toba hospitals.

Traffic could not be restored on different link roads which had been broken due to heavy rain.

DCO Nawazish Ali, who visited the rain-affected areas of Kamalia on Wednesday, informed newsmen that the affected families would be compensated.

BREACH: A breach in Gogera branch canal resulted in the inundating of crops over hundreds of acres of farmland in Rajana.

The breach was initially 12 feet wide but later rose to about 40 feet and water entered into four localities in which 24 mud houses collapsed.
