Durrani urges parliament to play role in provision of water for Southern Punjab
Former Information Minister Senator Mohammed Ali Durrani Friday urged the parliament to play its due role in provision of water for the farming community of the Southern Punjab which produces 50 percent of wheat-flour and 95 percent cotton and both the crops may suffer badly due to the water shortage.
In a rare move, Punjab government has decided to give half of its share of water from the Indus River system to Sindh to offset the impact of an expected shortage during crop-sowing season.
