Quetta: Superintendent Engineer Irrigation Circle Naseerabad Division Mudassir Zafar Khosa has announced that water supply to Balochistan’s canals has increased due to close coordination with IRSA and Sindh Irrigation authorities, along with the continuous efforts of Provincial Irrigation Minister Mir Muhammad Sadiq Umrani and Provincial Irrigation Secretary Sohail-ur-Rehman Baloch.
Mudassir Khosa noted that Sindh’s reluctance had caused severe difficulties for Balochistan’s farmers, but the province remained active in pursuing its rightful share of water under IRSA regulations for the Pat Feeder Canal and Kirthar Canal.
He emphasized that under the supervision of Executive Engineer Pat Feeder Canal Fareed Ahmed Pindrani, fair distribution of agricultural water is ongoing.
According to Sub-Divisional Officer Haji Mumtaz Ali Soomro, who is monitoring in Sindh, water supply in the Pat Feeder Canal has increased from 4,000 cusecs to 5,400 cusecs, with expectations of further improvement.
Mudassir Khosa reaffirmed that the prosperity of farmers in Balochistan’s green belt is the top priority, and the provision of agricultural water according to their rightful share will be ensured at all costs.
He added that irrigation officers and staff are working tirelessly to monitor canal systems, guarantee fair distribution, and ensure water reaches the tail ends.
He pledged that Balochistan will continue to raise its voice at every forum for its rightful share of water under IRSA laws, safeguarding farmers’ interests to achieve greater agricultural output, prosperity, and economic stability.
