Published February 12, 2002

SUKKUR, Feb 11. The commercial areas of the city have been submerged under sewage for the last four day causing inconvenience for the people coming for shopping and also for the shopkeepers whose business had been affected.

The dirty water has also entered the streets adjoining the roads.
