Water released into Machi Branch of upper Swat canal
July 3, 2021
PESHAWAR: Farmers of four districts, Malakand, Mardan, Swabi and Nowshera, took a sigh of relief as the irrigation department on Friday released water into the Machi Branch of upper Swat canal.
The water supply to the four districts was suspended on June 18, 2021 due to breach in the upper Swat canal. It created unrest among the farmers as they were concerned about their cash crops, which were largely damaged after not getting water for two weeks.
Local MPA Malik Shaukat Khan, Secretary Irrigation Tahir Orakzai, Chief Engineer (north) Nasir Ghafoor and other officials of the irrigation department were present in Kharki village of Mardan district when the water was finally released in the canal.
