Tarbela Dam getting empty due to continuous flow of water into link canals: Shoro

KARACHI: Sindh Minister for Irrigation Department Jam Khan Shoro has said that Tarbela Dam has been drastically getting empty due to continuous flow of water in Chashma Jhelum and Taunsa Panjnad Link Canals.

He said: “The Chashma-Jhehlum and Taunsa-Panjnad canals are being run illegally with the help of the member of Balochistan through illegal voting carried out by Indus River System Authority.”

Shoro said that IRSA is creating more water shortage in Sindh and as a result of which, water crisis would be escalated in the province.

He said Sindh has suffered a lot during kharif season due to such illegal and unjust decision.

The minister demanded that the federal government should immediately take the notice of such illegal decisions of IRSA and ensure equal distribution of water shares among the provinces.
