15-ft breach in Ghaggar at Moonak, plugged [1]

Sangrur : Due to heavy flow of water in the Ghaggar, a 15-ft wide breach occurred at Moonak, about 60 km from here, today.

The water entered standing crops of paddy and fodder in the nearby area.

However, with the help of farmers, the breach was plugged by the administration with sand bags.
