ISLAMABAD:
A sitting Sindh minister demanded on Friday a judicial inquiry into the provision of less water to the province than its allotted quota by the Indus River System Authority (Irsa), which led to water shortage there.
Provincial Agriculture Minister Ismail Rahu, while Addressing a press conference at Sindh House in Islamabad, held the federal government responsible for committing for “such a great injustice to Sindh” and for the “destruction of the agriculture” in the province.
“A judicial inquiry should be held into the issue of provision of less water to Sindh. Water is not being released to Sindh even for the early kharif season,” Rahu told reporters. “It’s a great injustice to Sindh but the prime minister is silent,” he added.
