MANCHAR LAKE, Sep 5(ABC): The city administration has decided to make two more breaches to the embankment at Manchar Lake as the water level has yet to recede due to the continuous deluge from Balochistan.
The dyke has already been breached once at the RD-14 point near Bagh-e-Yousuf due to the increased risk of the embankment breaking down as the water pressure grew.
Authorities in flood-hit Pakistan first breached the country’s largest freshwater lake on Sunday, displacing up to 100,000 people from their homes but saving more densely populated areas from gathering flood water, a minister said.
