Reviewing the ongoing plugging of breaches work, Punjab Water Resources Minister Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria on Sunday directed the officers of Water Resources Department to complete the breaches works in Jalandhar district at the earliest.
Sarkaria, who inspected the ongoing work at Dhussi Bandh on the river Sutlej, said that this work must be carried at the war footing to ensure that the breach was plugged at the earliest.
He said that keeping in view, the immense significance of this work any sort of callousness was intolerable and undesirable.
Sarkaria said that he would personally monitor this work on day to day basis to ensure its timely completion in the larger public interest.
He said that the work of plugging the breaches in Phillaur sub-division would be completed shortly and for the breaches in Shahkot sub-division, Army has already been called to plug the 500-ft wide breach at Jania Chahal village.
Likewise, he said that for other breaches also, the officers of Water Resources Department have already made a concrete strategy.
