Farmers in Pakistan's Bahawalpur region have expressed concern over the continued closure of canals across the Bahawalpur division.

The Panjnad canal in the districts of Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan and the Dallas and Fordwah canals in Bahawalnagar have been closed, causing the unavailability of irrigation water for the wheat sown areas across the division, Dawn News reported.

Senior Kissan Board Vice-President Jam Hazoor Baksh and Kissan Ittehad office bearers say that irrigation water could not be supplied to the fields in the last month, causing damage to the sown wheat fields, the newspaper reported.

They say if the water supply is not resumed immediately, the wheat production may fall during the next year.
