Punjab on Tuesday feared that Mangla Dam might not be filled this year, putting two-thirds of wheat crop in irrigated areas of the province in jeopardy during the next Rabi season. Provincial water mangers say the question of taking the Mangla lake to 1,212 feet, as planned by the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda), does not arise at the moment.
