HYDERABAD, April 28: Expressing concern over acute shortage of water in Sindh, Awami Tehrik chief Rasool Bux Palijo has said that even drinking water is not available in the province but water is still being released in Chashma-Jehlum and Taunsa-Panjnad link canals and Thal Canal.
In a statement faxed to Dawn here on Sunday, he alleged that through the canals 40,000 cusecs of Sindh’s share was being stolen. Not only this, but Tarbela Dam was being filled while Sindh was crying hoarse for water, he said.
He said that the farmers of Sindh would have to face an insurmountable economic crisis if water was not released for Kharif crops.—Bureau
