35 gas wells closed, as water enters Qadirpur gas field QADIRPUR: The floodwater that broke through Tauri Bund five days ago, is now fast pacing towards Jakobabad, Geo News reported Wednesday.
According to DCO Kazim Jatoi, the water from Tauri Bund, that capitulated to water pressure five days back, is roaring its way to Jakobabad through Ghauspur, Karampur and Thul.
The helicopters have been called for to winch people marooned in the flooded areas.
Meantime, the administration in Thul directed the early evacuation of Thul, Mirpur Buroro and Goth Jangan, as the flood torrent has approached near.
The flood torrent in Sukkar caused the city’s protective wall to receive cracks, causing the water to seep through faster, amassing on Bundar Road.
According to Field Manager Qadirpur Gas Field Abdul Majeed Malik, the water entered into the compressor stations of Sui Northern Pipeline Limited; accordingly, at least 35 wells of gas, have been shut down.
He said the gas supply has been suspended on the request by SNPL.
It should be mentioned here that the flood high tide, rampaging from Khyber Pakhtoonkhaw, has turned into a supper flood in Larkana with mounting water pressure on various bunds.
The most catchments areas in the district have submerged under water.
The water pressure persisted unabated at Jamshed Lope Bund near Khairpur at River Indus, Alarjageer Bund and Faridabad Bund.
Two kids were swept away adrift floodwater in Goth Punhal near Razi Dero; of them, one was rescued.
