Jam Khan Shoro, the minister of Sindh irrigation, urged Islamabad on Thursday to guarantee the province’s continuous water supply, stressing that there should never be a water scarcity for agricultural production.
Speaking on the matter, the minister stated that there is a disagreement with the federation about Sindh’s water scarcity.
“The Nara and Rohri canals are getting 7,200 cusecs of water, while there is up to 70% shortage of water in other canals,” he stated.
Shoro continued, saying that as part of the rotation scheme, the government is guaranteeing the availability of potable water and crops.
According to him, the government is developing a different plan to remove rainwater from the Hakro, Dhoro Puran, and Left Bank outfall drains.”A large gate will be erected at RD 210 as part of the plan,” he stated, adding that the responsible deputy commissioners of the aforementioned drains have been asked to submit a report.
