In Pakistan’s Sindh province, protests have intensified against the construction of six new canals on the Indus River. Lawyers, social activists, and civil society groups have rejected the recent declaration by the Council of Common Interests, which failed to build consensus on the controversial project.
The project, approved by President Asif Ali Zardari in July 2024, was aimed at irrigating vast tracts of previously uncultivable land. However, the move has triggered a political storm, reviving long-standing provincial rivalries. The 176-kilometre-long canal meant to irrigate the Cholistan region in southern Punjab has become the most contested component.
