Sindh High Court (SHC) has issued a residence order that stops the construction of channels after a challenge to the water accessibility certificate issued by the Indus River System Authority (IRSA), expressed Express News on Monday.

The court heard a petition who questioned the legality of the certificate required for channel construction. The bench has sought a detailed response from the federal government before April 18.

The IRSA had previously approved the water supply to Cholistan Canal System Project and issued a certificate that allowed the Punjab government to construct the channel branching from the Sutlej River at Sulemanki -headworks.

However, this step has been disputed by Sindh, who has called it “unfair.”

Meanwhile, in a statement today, SINDH IRRIATATION CHIAGE CHANCE CHAN SHORO COURT’S ORDER ORDER A HISTORICAL decision. He repeated the provincial government’s demand to appoint a proper SINDH representative for IRSA and cancel the channel projects.

The channel question has given rise to strong political reactions in Sindh, where local leaders claim that the provincial rights over water are bypassing.

Protests have been erupted over Sindh in recent weeks as opposition to the federal government’s proposed erection of new channels on the Indus River intensifies.

Civil society groups, farmers and political activists have taken the streets and warned that the controversial projects could elaborate on water button in the lower ripar province.

The demonstrations have been driven for fear that the planned channels – including the cholistan channel – would deprive Sindh of its reasonable proportion of water, in violation of the water decision in 1991.

In response to growing public pressure, the Sindh assembly unanimously adopted a decision in March and rejected the construction of six new channels on Indus.

The resolution called the projects illegal and called on the federal government and the Indus River System Authority (IRSA) to immediately stop all related activities.

It also required that all provinces, especially Sindh, be heard before such a development to ensure that their constitutional wasting rights are maintained.

Reinforcing the province’s attitude, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari issued a strong reprimand of the federal government during a demonstration in Larkana. He warned the center to “settle back” from the channel projects and called them a threat to national unity and Sindh’s livelihood.

Bilawal recalled the amount of its party’s historical resistance to similar projects, including the Kalabagh dam, and repeated PPP’s obligation to wandering and inter-province harmony.
