KARACHI: Calling for a new agreement to ensure fair and equitable distribution of irrigation water among provinces, the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Monday announced a protest campaign across Sindh for the province’s due share in water. It warned that if the federal government and Punjab continued to ignore Sindh’s stance, the entire country could face a devastating impact of water shortage on its agricultural produce by the end of this year.
Leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Sunday alleged that Sindh s water was being given to political personalities and blue-eyed tribal chieftains and Sindh Irrigation Minister Sohail Anwar.
