BADIN:

The crisis of canal water shortage, despite availability of water in Kotri Barrage, has intensified in Badin.

Farmers are protesting against this shortage, which is affecting the cultivation of crops, particularly paddy. The crops are withering away due to the lack of water.

The protesters, at the sit-in, announced that they will continue their demonstration until their demands are met. They demanded that the water level in the Mirwah canal is raised from the current 11.5 feet to 17.5 feet, and the full allocation of 3,400 cusecs of water is made available to the canal.
