ISLAMABAD: Breach developed in the biggest saline nullah of Asia, LBOD, has widened to 200 feet and inundated more than 100 villages of the district Badin on Monday.

Flood water has inundated grid station in Pangrio as well.
The authorities concerned are yet to plug breaches that have flooded a vast area and washed away standing crops on hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
A large number of people are still marooned in the far-flung coastal villages of Badin district, with no road link to safer areas.
