Hasnain Ali Chohan"},"content":{"rendered":"

KARACHI (HRNW)-<\/strong> Senior leader of the Insaf Lawyers Forum Karachi Division and noted legal practitioner Advocate Hasnain Ali Chohan has expressed grave concern over the worsening water crisis in Sindh, alleging that the province\u2019s water shortage, which has exceeded 50 per cent, is the result of the Pakistan Peoples Party\u2019s (PPP) \u201c18 years of incompetence and poor governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a press release issued on Monday, Advocate Hasnain Ali Chohan claimed that the PPP had compromised Sindh\u2019s resources for the sake of political power, leaving the people of the province and its farming community to bear the consequences.<\/p>\n

He said the acute shortage of water was drying up agricultural lands across Sindh, damaging crops and pushing farmers into severe hardship. According to him, growers throughout the province were protesting for their rights, and the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) fully supported their demands and ongoing demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Advocate Hasnain Ali Chohan stated that protests against water scarcity were being witnessed from Karachi to Kashmore and from Karoonjhar to Tharparkar. He alleged that despite widespread public concern, the Sindh government had limited its response to statements and had failed to take practical measures or effectively advocate for the province\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n

He further claimed that the 50pc reduction in Sindh\u2019s water share had triggered a severe water crisis in Karachi, affecting nearly 70pc of the city\u2019s population. Karachi, he said, contributed more than 90pc of Sindh\u2019s revenue, yet residents were struggling to secure even basic water supplies.
\nWarning of serious consequences, Advocate Hasnain Ali Chohan said that if Sindh was not provided its full constitutional share of water, vast tracts of agricultural land could become barren, farmers could face economic ruin and the provincial economy could suffer irreversible losses.<\/p>\n

He also criticised the PPP government\u2019s performance over the past 18 years, alleging that poor governance had adversely affected infrastructure, agriculture and public services across the province. He maintained that public dissatisfaction with the provincial administration was growing and called for immediate and practical measures to address Sindh\u2019s water crisis and ensure that the province received its due constitutional and legal rights.<\/p>\n
