Ruckus in Sindh Assembly over water scarcity

Ruckus in Sindh Assembly over water scarcity House, barring PTI members, passes resolution condemning Centre, IRSA A file photo of Sindh Assembly. PHOTO: PPI KARACHI: There was a ruckus in Sindh Assembly on Monday as the house took up water shortage in Sindh. Lawmakers discarded the agenda after Sindh Irrigation Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal moved a resolution condemning the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led federal government and the Indus River System Authority (IRSA) for violating the Water Apportionment Accord of 1991 and cutting down Sindh’s share. The resolution demanded Sindh’s due water share. The accusation prompted an uproar by the PTI lawmakers but the resolution found support from other opposition members, including those of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan and the Grand Democratic Alliance, and was passed. A former PTI lawmaker also spoke in favour of the resolution much to the other party lawmakers’ chagrin.

Minister rejects Irsa s assessment of water shortage in Sindh - Newspaper

LARKANA: Differences have come to the fore between Sindh government and the Indus River System Authority (Irsa) over the authority’s assessment of water shortage as Sindh Minister for Irrigation Sohail Anwar Siyal rejected Irsa’s claim of four per cent shortage and says Sindh is currently experiencing 28 per cent shortage. The minister said at a press conference at local press club here on Monday that Irsa could not deprive any province of its rightful share in water through wrong figures and false claims. He rejected the Irsa’s claim that it was providing 71,000 cusecs to Sindh and said the province was drawing only 66,000 cusecs against its indent of 90,000 cusecs from Chashma Barrage. “If we compare water shortage in Punjab and Sindh, we find that Punjab is facing just five per cent shortage,” he said.
