Army not agree to raising the sill level of Rainy Canal Project

The rainy canal is providing the facility to supply water for defence purposes, and there is official correspondence from the Pakistan Army to the Sindh Irrigation Department as well as Wapda, demanding that there would be water requirement for defence purposes from time to time, says the water authority.

Therefore, it adds, Wapda and the defence authorities do not agree to raising the sill level. “If the irrigation department still wants to raise the level, however, it can do so on its own after taking over the project.”
The report says the first phase of the project was finalised in June 2014, but the second phase has yet to be completed.

Meanwhile, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, disposed of the case.

During the 1965 war Pakistani army successfully guarded as many as eight of the bridges located on BRB canal while destroying all others. This tact delayed Indian forces to cross the canal to attack Lahore city. Later the forward forces of Pakistan received backup force of army tanks which pushed Indian army to withdraw their positions.
