Balochistan's Irrigation Minister Sardar Aslam Bizinjo has threatened to cut water supply from Hub to Karachi if Sindh does not give its rightful share of water to Balochistan.
Irrigation Minister Sardar Aslam Bizenjo said that Balochistan's share of water from Sindh is 2400 cusecs, but it is getting only 1400 cusecs. 'The Sindh Irrigation Department had said that the shortage of water in Kirthar Canal will be overcome by July 1, but that has not happened yet', said Bizenjo. 'The situation is worsening every day.' He also said that agriculture is already on the road to destruction due to loadshedding. The Sindh government is only adding to their woes. 'If Sindh does not give Balochistan its share of water from Kirthar canal, then it would cut off the water supply from Hub to Karachi,' he said. 'The Sindh government would be responsible for the consequences'. He also pointed out that Sindh government has not paid Rs 30 billion worth outstanding bills to Hub dam either.
