CCpur, July 10, 2008: Days after the khuga canal breaches during its trail run, another canal about a farlong from the khuga canal breaches yet again at Ngurte village, about 7 kms from here.
The canal which irrigates about 500 acres of farmland, according to Lalhmuok Famhoite, Secretary of Eastern Khuga Farmers Association breaches on Tuesday night.
As the main source of water for the farmland breaches, half of the water that was hose-off from Tuikham rivulet was now wasted, he said.
The canal constructed by the minor irrigation department is likely to lose more soil and water, and may eventually breakdown if not immediately mended, he adds.
