The Ghagger that flooded more than a dozen villages and submerged standing crops drowned houses, and one of the largest Government’s ware house of wheat at Bani is now being drained out back into the Ghagger river near, Ghagger Syphon near Talwara Jheel Village. At this point the Ghagger passes from under the Indira Gandhi Canal, popularly known as Raj Canal. DC Sirsa Mr. CG Rajini Kaanthan informed Sirsa News at BDPO office Ellenabad that the cut on the RHS bank of the Ghagger has been made by farmers to help the water go back into the river, as now only a few thousand Cusecs of water was flowing downstream of Ottu Wier, and perhaps this is the high time to flush out water from the village. He said the Administration is monitoring the overall situation as well as this operation. With more rains expected in the coming days it is prudent to ease the situation as much as possible, added Ram Singh Bishnoi DRO.

The DC and his team were returning from the water drainage site when this correspondent met him.
