In Sindh, where agriculture relies heavily on the Indus River, water scarcity is a pressing issue. The construction of new canals could worsen this crisis, further depriving Sindh of the water it needs.
The government must reconsider such steps to prevent exacerbating the situation, which could lead to severe agricultural, economic and humanitarian consequences. Equitable water distribution and sustainable management are essential to avoid disaster and ensure the prosperity of all regions.
