While on one hand, torrential rains led to streams and nullahs bursting their banks, on the other they also resulted in the development of breaches in canals of Sindh and Balochistan, inundating homes and crops, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
Over 100 homes in neighbouring villages were washed away while crops grown over thousands of acres were destroyed after a 70-foot-wide breach developed in Rohri Canal at Matyari near Bhit Shah.
And to make matters worse, nobody from the administration or the irrigation department reached the site to plug the breach till last reports came in.

On the other hand, the irrigation department employees were nowhere to be seen, raising fears of flooding of more homes.
