QUETTA: A fresh torrent of 80,000 cusecs entered Jaffarabad on Thursday after breaches were made in a dyke while floodwaters from Saifullah Magsi canal inundated several villages in Gandakha tehsil. Sources said that the floodwater started moving towards Gandakha town as Saifullah Magsi canal developed breaches at three places. The town was evacuated after reports about breaches in the canal.
Six villages in Gandakha were completely submerged, Hayat Jamali, a resident of the area, told Dawn. The affected villages are: Goth Ghulam Mohammad, Goth Doda Kahn Sayal, Choki Jamali, Goth Gul Mohammad Jamali, Faizal Faqir and Goth Sattar Shah.
The fresh flooding in Jaffarabad aggravated the misery of thousands of displaced people from Sindh and Balochistan who could not reach safe places and had taken refuge near Pat feeder canal and other high places.
