HAFIZABAD -- The villagers near Qadirabad barrage expressed grave concern over the use of substandard material in the repair of the choking bund at the Qadirabad barrage and called upon the chief minister and secretary irrigation to probe into the use of substandard material in the repair of the choking bund.

President Awami Mahaz Rana Khalid Mehmood in a written statement to the press said that the contract for the repair of the choking bund was awarded to the contractor at Rs28600000 and only 25 percent work has so far been completed even though the contractor has been paid full amount without completion of the project by the irrigation department.
