 Unidentified tribesmen kidnapped 15 officials of the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) including an executive engineer (XEN) and three sub-divisional officers (SDOs) while they were coming back from inspecting the Rainee Canal in Rajanpur district on Wednesday. The kidnappers later freed three employees. WAPDA sources told Daily Times that the inspection team belonged to Lahore WAPDA House's water wing and had arrived in Rajanpur a few days ago to adjust the head remoter at Guddu Barrage near the canal. Rajanpur district administration officials said the men were returning after inspecting the Rainee Canal in official vehicles when at least 24 men with weapons stopped them in Shah Wali Police precincts and kidnapped the entire team. |
