Protests are taking place in Sindh province to get Punjab a large part of the Indus river water. The government’s irresponsibility for water crisis in Pakistan is being blamed. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has said that water crisis has arisen in four major provinces of the country this year.

 

Serious water crisis in Pakistan

A warning has been issued in Pakistan regarding the water crisis. Now Punjab and Sindh province have come face to face on this issue. There is a dispute over the water of the Indus River in both the provinces. Because Punjab has been given a large part of the Indus river water. On the other hand, a small part of the river water has been allocated to Sindh province. There is a government of PMLN in Punjab. And there is Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Sharif Chief Minister. So, Bilawal Bhutto government is working in Sindh province. And Murad Ali Shah is the Chief Minister there. The matter increased so much that people from both sides pulled swords against each other. Neither the people of Maryam Sharif nor the people of Bilawal Bhutto are ready to see any decline on the water issue. Now it seems as if the water has provoked the fire of enmity.

 

Dams have dried up in Pakistan

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has said that water crisis has arisen in four major provinces of the country this year. The foothills of dams in Sindh province are already collapsing. The water tanker mafia has recently become active in a big city like Karachi. This time the situation seems to be getting worse due to the heat. Rising population, climate change and government mismanagement are responsible for water crisis in Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan has prepared a proposal of Rs 42 crore to end the water crisis.

Complete water dispute between Sindh and Punjab

The Government of Pakistan has decided to build several canals simultaneously from the Indus River under the 1991 Water Treaty. With the construction of these canals, Punjab will be able to get the water of Indus river easily. Till now Sindh used to get the most water from the Indus River. Nawaz Sharif’s government is in power in Punjab province. Similarly, Nawaz’s younger brother Shahbaz Sharif is at the post of Prime Minister at the center. The people of Sindh say that our rights are being deliberately given to the people of Punjab. Protests against the government are also taking place in Sindh regarding this. The Chief Minister of Sindh has contacted Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif regarding the entire matter. The Chief Minister says that if the Prime Minister does not interfere immediately, the situation may worsen. On the other hand, Punjab Information and Broadcasting Minister Azma Bukhari says that there is a shortage of water in our province. This time there has been a decrease of 41 percent in water storage compared to last time. If it is not taken care of now, the crisis may increase.
