A 10-feet long breach in the Indravati lift canal in the Kalahandi district of Odisha has submersed acres of land.
According to the reports, the wide breach in the embankment triggered a flood and damaged standing crops in acres of agricultural land. But it was later revealed that there has been no loss of life reported.
The report further added that the locals alleged that substandard work and uncontrolled release of water could have caused the breach. They also said that cracks had developed in the bund just a few days after the mega lift irrigation project was inaugurated earlier this year.
Earlier this month, the Rengali branch canal had a breach of 30 feet and a 10 feet breach in the Rengali Left Bank Canal Division also occurred that submerged the nearby lands.
