- Khuhro demands immediate intervention from the prime minister
Factual Subheading
Indus River System Authority has imposed a 27% water shortage exclusively on Sindh during the Kharif season.
Sindh requires over 80,000 cusecs of water at the Guddu Barrage during this time, but only 65,304 cusecs have been released.
Context & Impact
Khurro argued that cutting Sindh’s water share would amount to an ‘economic massacre’ of the province and undermine its agricultural sector.
The Jhelum–Chenab zone can be supplied through the Mangla Dam, yet water is being stored there instead of being released to Sindh’s farmers who urgently need it.
