LARKANA, April 6: The project of constructing a bridge over the Hamal Lake may not be completed within the stipulated time of 18 months due to a row between roads and irrigation departments.
Sources told this correspondent on Saturday the row had hampered the work on the Rs18.8 million project.
Columns to be laid down for constructing the bridge are ready but the department of roads needs water flow to be diverted through the Main Nara Valley Drain (MNV drain) so as to create space for erecting pillars.
The irrigation management looks after the MNV drain and the Hamal Lake.
The sources said local irrigation officials were not cooperating with the department of roads to lift the gates of the MNV drain.
The DCO in this connection talked to the irrigation engineer concerned after which the gates of the MNV drain were lifted for some time but they were closed later.
