Islamabad:
President of Pakistan Peoples Party Human Rights Cell (PPP-HRC) proposed a four-point solution on Friday to solve the current water problems in the country, demanding of the federal government to put aside the controversial project of the industrial canals.
Speaking at a press conference with the secretary general of the PPP-HRC, Malika Raza, Vice-President Zulqarnain Ashghar and the Samina Salam member, Babar, warned that the construction of new channels in Punjab, threatening the Sindh in the middle of a global water shortage, was a “” “moved” move “.
Babar proposed to declare a national emergency of drought in the country, a passage from the huge projects to develop infrastructure to the conservation of water and to improve water management, healthy populations of population and end to the culture of elite capture.
“The building of six new channels in Punjab ignoring the vital interest of the lower sindh and destroying its agriculture and farmers is a case of elite capture of state resources rather than disharmony between the provinces,” said the former senator.
