MIRPURKHAS, April 7: The activists of the Jeay Sindh Mahaz, Mirpurkhas district, staged a protest demonstration in front of the press club here on Sunday against the construction of the greater Thal canal.

They were carrying banners and placards and raising slogans against the canal project.

Speaking on the occasion, the district secretary of the JSM, Shankar Lal, said that Sindh will be deprived of water after completion of the Thal canal.

The JSM divisional organizer, Zahoor Leghari, said that the construction of Thal canal was a conspiracy to covert the lands of Sindh into desert.

He regretted that despite the acute shortage of water in Sindh, Punjab was insisting on the construction of the canal.

He said that people of Sindh will sacrifice their everything to oppose the anti-Sindh project.
