An eight-year-old child belonging to the Hamlet\u2019s area of Ghazi reportedly drowned after falling into a canal.<\/span><\/p>\n

A search operation was underway for the missing child\u2019s recovery until the filing of this report. According to the locals, if the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) could charge excessive bills from the poor, it could also erect a large fence along the canal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe informed them [Wapda] a year ago that a large fence should be installed along the canal, but it has not been implemented so far,\u201d they lamented. \u201cThe fences which have been erected within their limits should be erected on the canal banks as well,\u201d they suggested and added that the precious life of the child was lost, but the Wapda turned a blind eye to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The locals demanded that a large fence should be erected on the bank of the canal.<\/p>\n
