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.
