In order to stop the Dhussi Bundh
from being swept away by the Sutlej river, Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal took
over the charge last night. Deputy commissioner Varinder Kumar after conversing
with him, had asked him to make the Bundh solid at 2-3 places, where water
currents are affecting the damage. Sant Seechewal told that he was contacted in
the late evening and he immediately taking with him the Sewadars reached there,
so that the damaged Bundh could be made solid. Till late night they were
engaged in filling the soil bags. Some time in the noon many people had thrown
trees on the banks of the river to save the Bundh from further loss.
There may
have been much improvement in the weather but D.C Varinder Kumar Sharma has
instructed the officials to be fully alert to handle the every type of emergent
situation, keeping in view the increasing water level of Sutlej river for at
least 48 hours. Inspecting the arrangements made after the release of water
from Ropar Head works, Deputy commissioner said that the weather might have
cleared but keeping in view the bad weather of neighboring hilly state, full precautions should be
taken. He Said that due to continuous rains over the hills, the water level in
the rivers has risen, that can cause danger to the district, He said that
district administration is fully alert to save the lives and stock of the
people. Due to this sudden change necessary steps have been taken. Mr. Sharma
asked the Sub Divisional Magistrates to keep continuous watch on the Dhussi
Bundh near Sutlaj river and on the increasing water level. He said that after
selecting the fragile places, proper arrangements should be made. Mr. Sharma
said however the water level in Sutlej river might have decreased to some extent but no effort should be left
to save lives and stocks.
Same way when a report of
increased water level at village Baupur reached the Deputy commissioner, he
immediately instructed S.D.M Shahkot Navneet Kaur Bal to reach the village
Baupur and to review the arrangements being done to make the Bundh strong. The
